Quick Iraq Note
I'm sure you've been indundated by Iraq election news, but I feel like I must chime in briefly. I cannot say how impressed I am that the Iraqi people actually did go out and vote, and in some pretty impressive numbers it seems. I'm not sure how even we as Americans would react to a group that was actively out there killing us, blowing up our schools and storefronts and saying that if we were to vote, that we'd be marked for death. I imagine, that ALOT of us would stay home on election day.
But not the Iraqi's, in what might be one of the bravest displays of the last 20 years, the Iraqi people went out in the face of this danger and thumbed their noses at it. Even to the point of staying in line when suicide bombers detonated themselves in front of them in an attempt to derail the democratic process. I'm so impressed with these people as a group that I can hardly contain it. I feel proud in what we as Americans have accomplished and even prouder for what the Iraqis themselves have accomplished.
Three Cheers for the New Iraq. I salute you all.

Oh yes, today is a great day in Iraqi history. I watched the people dancing in the streets with smiles from ear to ear and it was so amazing. It literally brought tears to my eyes!!!
