A great day for America and Iraq

Today, while watching the glorious transfer of power in Iraq, I had a epithany. George Bush- a highly religious man who laid a hand on a Bible to be sworn into office- has risked his career and spent American treasure (Blood and money) to reach a day where a group of people could- in freedom- lay their hands on a KORAN to be sworn into office. Only this country- and this leadership- would have don this.

May the new Iraq and the US be friends for generations to come! May God (or Allah, if you prefer) bless these countries and these leaders!

A bunch of links that will open your eyes

Me doing a blog is nothing. Here is a listing of some of the bravest bloggers out there; Iraqis speaking their minds, in an environment where Iraqis are being assassinated every day by goons and thugs. A GREAT people is emerging into the light, if these people are any indication. It HAS been worthwhile, despite our losses.
