Thanks Valin!

((((ping))))

Allegra, here is more ammo for you to blast away at the MSM lovers on this forum!

Quick summary!
1. Refugees – lack thereof
2. Religious pilgrimages
3. Currency
4. Plain old everyday freedoms

My own additions
1. Money supply turnover
2. Infant mortality
3. Agriculture/importation of food
4. Utilities
5. Education

Allegra, stay safe! And onward to Al-Sadr! And thank our most wonderful Troops for me/us! We are so much safer because of them. Please gush for all of us back home and make them blush. ;) Won't settle for anything less.

EXCELENT!

BRAVO!

APPLAUSE!!!!!

Best analysis of Iraq I've ever read- period. It deserves an award.

I hadn't heard about the killings of school children, and hospital patients and staff (sick). It is amazing that the Iraqi people have been holding together in spite of all that has gone on. God bless them.

God bless our military who continue to make heroic efforts there in spite of betrayal by politicians from both sides here, (as well as the entire democRAT party). And in spite of having their efforts discounted (or omitted), misrepresented, and distorted by the media.
(NONE of the substantial and numerous successes noted in the article have been reported on . If they even bother to mention any atrocities committed by "insurgents", (better known as "terrorists"), against Iraqi's, they'll say it in passing, with one sentence- as if finding be-headed men, women, and children, is no big deal.)

My disgust and outrage at the "journalists"- useless idiots, in my country has increased exponentially. Shame on them for DELIBRATELY trying to cause failure in Iraq.

Every single person in the United States, England, and Iraq needs to see this-Make that- every person anywhere in the world- A MUST READ!

Thank you so much for posting the article. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Instead of railing against the Bush administration, America’s elites would do better, and incidentally display greater self-respect, to direct their wrath where it properly belongs: at those violent and unrestrained enemies of democracy in Iraq who are, in truth, the enemies of democracy in America as well, and of everything America has ever stood for.

Is the "religion" of Islam, that openly defends the sheer and utter lack of religious freedom right in the Koran, multiple times, not an enemy of of a nation, namely America, that has as its foundational underpinning the "freedom of religion" and therefore freedom of speech?

Or is a "religion" that denies freedom of religion and freedom of speech an ally of America and her ways?
