Unrelated ping, but still critical. With the help of the world or not (and especially a grossly biased media at all levels), America is still making an impact for good in the world, and this because President George W. Bush is at the helm.
No, it hasn't been a perfect campaign, but in light of the complicated geo-politics and precarious times, still effective. In the years ahead, we need to make every effort within our personal shpheres of influence, locally, statewide, and nationally, to make sure he stays at the helm.

There are probably more gang murders every week in Los Angeles than deaths attributable to terrorists in Bagdhad every week. If the press concentrated on the out of control crime in America as much as it does on the problems in Bagdhad, then most people in the US would not even know we had troops there.

Iraqi judges for the first time in 35 years will be free from political interference, control and manipulation. That is better than the American way -- Way to go, Bush!
We need it -- now -- in America.

Yes, it appears to be much more dangerous in the Liberal Blue Enclaves on the Blue/Red electoral map than it is in Iraq, overall.

Good post Bert. If the press did nothing but report crime, the situation here in the US might be perceived to be worse than that in Iraq!
I look forward to the day when the great majority will have no use for days-old, "analysed" news.
To: Consort
When we were marching to Bagdhad all the news networks were filled with images of how well things were going, but now that we have acheived victory I have yet to see a single news story showing how our troops are winning the peace and showing how grateful the Iraqi people are and how much they appreciate our troops. Nothing. I see it here on the daily picture threads, but you'd think at least one news network would do a positive story. Not even Fox.
I suppose good news is bad for ratings. My guess is that the only reason the networks wanted to cover the march to Bagdhad was because they figured there were going to be thousands of Americans killed in the process. They would gleefully report that kind of news.

Ben A Harris Fairpress.orgGee, I am SHOCKED that I haven't heard news of this nature from the alphabet news feeds!
It is amazing to me that as the "liberal party" is motivated in going down the road of extinction, the liberal press is holding their hand while doing so.

Here's another story I found touching, of the Iraqi's new freedom. For the first time in 35 years the Iraqi national orchestra played a concert, according to a congressman just returning. The orchestra played the naional anthem and the entire audience stood and wept. They wept because for the first time in most of their lives they are free. They wept for joy. The nightmare is over. Thugacrocy replaced by democracy.

Tens of thousands of farms are once more being irrigated ...Coalition projects cleared over 14,000..kilometers of weed-choked irrigation canals - projects providing jobs for more than 100,000 Iraqis.One of the 13,000 or so projects completed by the Coalition in the past 6 months (while taking out terrorists and other bad guys). Ammo for this week's Congressional debate.
Plus, SOD Rumsfeld reads a letter from Pres. Reagan - to Brezhnev, after the Soviet leader accused the United States of "destabilizing the world with its territorial ambitions and imperialistic designs."

To: Ragtime Cowgirl; bert
"Why are so many of these nations, many small, most not very wealthy, sending their forces, their young men and women put at risk halfway around the world to help bring freedom to the Iraqi people? I suspect it's because so many of them have just recovered their own freedom, and they're eager, they're proud to help the Iraqi people recover theirs. God bless them all.... "They demonstrate that the seeds of freedom, when planted, can do more than simply take root where they're sown. They can have the power to spread freedom across the globe to other countries."
Absolutely wonderful!
Yes, God bless them, and Don Rumsfeld too.
