I cannot let this historic event go without a prayer and an acknowledgment of courage. Iraq has an election, and even though as many as 36 people died by Terrorist attack, still they vote. They vote even as the bodies are removed from the line; asking the polling place not be closed. They vote, and early reports suggest more turned out than have turned out for any US Presidential race in history.
I want to acknowledge the human heart, the bravery, the 'can do' attitude.
It won't quit. The students in front of the Tanks in China will be remembered forever, even though they did not get freedom. They will, someday. Is effort for freedom ever in vain?
It has been an exciting run, my life, born in 56 and watching the Berlin Wall fall, the internet, and now new Democracies fighting to emerge and stand on their own.
That is all. No discussion of troop strength, lies, or food for oil. I'm calling a spade a spade, and brave men and women wherever they be are seen clearly regardless of religion, uniform, Country of birth and the language they speak.
