Election Day cometh to Iraq and all I can think is what a great day it is to be an Iraqi. In Canada, we either vote or not on election day but we don’t run the risk of being killed for going to the polling station or have to worry about being targeted afterward for reprisal attacks by terrorists for participating in the election process except later in your pocketbook.
Nor do I think it matters what argument you believed to justify the invasion of Iraq because the bottom-line is about FREEDOM. The Iraqi’s may not have the security that they deserve but they are exercising their rights as free people and that is a truly wondrous thing to witness. If I knew a wish fairy who would grant me one wish, it would be this; that the Iraqi people will live out the promise of freedom with dignity and security, and therefore, be a light onto others in the Arab world to do the same. They deserve no less.
Spirit of America will be offering coverage of the Iraqi elections and it will be carried on C-SPAN from 2pm-4pm (Eastern)today for those who have satellite and Friends of Democracy is carrying reports and photos. Friends of Democracy is asking for your comments, so if you are so moved go visit the site and tell them what you think.
