COURAGE!

An Iraqi man gets help from a U.S. Army medic after he was shot in the face by an insurgent near a polling station in Mosul, Iraq on election day, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2005. He was rushed to a local hospital and is expected to survive.

The picture at #12 pretty much reduced me to slush. I can't help wondering if the Iraqis have any idea how great are hopes are for them.

Wait till you hear this. When asked why he was crying, Mr Inqoter said that it was because his son was not able to vote with him. The younger Inqoter was part of the anti-Saddam resistance that the US let down in the early nineties, and was murdered by Saddam.

All of you people posting pictures, thank you. Very moving.

What is a shocker to me are the long lines everywhere.
Another interisting thing, the guys and gals have their own lines.

Great caption. What we really need is a picture of Teddy and Kerry with brown tipped fingers for sticking their fingers where they don't belong, and their noses too.

Unfortunately the mountain is too unstable to add another face (everyone else would kind of slide off). So we will just have to get him one of his own. :-)

We had a prayer meeting at work (a billion dollar company) along with the large business next door. We spent our lunch hour Thursday praying for the safety of the Iraqis, and that they would elect good and wise men to draft their new constitution. I recently reread Miracle at Philadelphia about the constitutional convention. The struggles they went through to come up with that document were incredible. It was God's grace that gave them what they came up with.

It's been a Looooooogn time since I've seen one of those USAFA parade uniforms. ((((((((shudder))))))))

You can just not believe how uncomfortable they were/are.

The pants are so starched, it takes 5 minutes to put your feet through the pants-legs.

Argh.

Good pic, though! Mount Bushmore..... Hmmmmmmmm.....

re: 605 ---> "An Iraqi soldier crawls towards a polling station in an act of respect during his country's national elections..."

Is it still an act of respect if the guy with the gun is pointing where you should crawl? Okay, maybe it's just respect for the man with the gun.

Sure like to know the real story of what's happening in this photo instead of having to take Reuters' word.

There's a freeper alaa whom, as far as I can tell, is a blogger from Mesopotamia.

THE MESOPOTAMIAN

Scroll down a little way to "AHLAN WA SAHLAN; GWB". That's the first place I've seen that quote, but there was a thread about it here awhile back. Haven't turned up anything in a search here or on Google (except the above).
