May I Just Say...

YEA!!! Iraq! And a heartfelt salute to our soldiers, marines, diplomats, and our allies (we love you Brits, Aussies, and everyone else!).

Seeing the joy on the faces of the Iraqis, and knowing their bravery, brought a tear of joy to my eye. People can try to spin it negatively, or downplay it in some fashion, but I pity anyone who didn't just let it fill their heart.

Freedom is NOT "just another word for nothin' left to lose!" Freedom is the dream and the POSSIBILITY of creating something positive for yourself, your loved ones, and the world. It is the ability to express the best of who you are, without restriction. God, Allah (however you want to refer to That Which Is All) bless the Iraqis and the Afghans in finding that expression and making it valuable to the world! And bless those who made it possible for them to have that freedom!
