I think there is a point there. There is also a real lesson in Iraq for
the
world. To see the Iraqi people with all the events leading up to the
election go to vote with such joy - and then hold up their fingers in the
"V" for victory sign after they voted has a message about freedom for all
the world to learn. Most of Europe could take heart from those courageous
people. I think the cokksukking French and Germans out to take a little
time
to reflect on THEIR history of COWARDICE in the face of tyranny and how
the
SURRENDERED to it and look at the Iraqis and realize that THEY more an
anyone have given us all a lesson in democracy and the value of being
free!
FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE! I can't think of any people as a whole more worthy
of the world's admiration that the Iraqis and Afghans.
Too bad the arrogant Europeans will ignore the example they just gave us
all. (Including Americans.)
