Felt the same way watching the Berlin Wall come down. Know exactly the feeling you are talking about.
"A Battle Won"
Through the heat of the day their hope burns bright
After long years of death, despair and darkness
Hope is kindling
As with any birth, there is blood and pain and suffering
Doubts and fears wage war with hopes and dream
Councils of cowardice vanquished by the courage of the free
And the Liberty's champions around the world, smile secret delight, as their newest comrades takes their first tentative steps,
while Uncle Sam's brave children add the name "Iraq" to their forefathers proud battle flags
