Arthur Chrenkoff, who has persistantly rounded up good news from Iraq that he thinks the media is either downplaying or largey ignoring, has a feast of good news today.
His collection this time needs to be read in full. At the end he adds this:
Yesterday was a birthday: the day free Iraq was born. It’s not the end of the struggle against the revanchists and terrorists, but it’s the day when these murderers lost any pretence that they are representing Iraq or the Iraqi people. And it’s a big step on the road toward becoming a normal country.
Writes Stephen Green:"Everything You Wanted To Know About The Iraqi Elections..but were afraid to ask Ted Kennedy."
