From Tomder:

It's a moment of pure freedom but still surrounded by lots of dangers just like any beautiful rose surrounded by spikes.
There is fear from the enemies of freedom who have their weapons already prepared to intimidate us and stop us from choosing our future.
But at the same time we're full of hope as we know that we've put our feet on the right track and even if we make a bad choice once, we know that we will have the chance to reevaluate the situation again.
No more tyrants ruling the country for decades.

We're standing before a historic moment and I won't be exaggerating if I said that it's an important moment for the whole world; we're standing before a crossroads and everyone should watch and learn from the rebirth of Iraq.

Regardless of the winners in these elections, those who opposed the elections and resisted the change will have to deal with the new reality.

In 48 hours from now, the dying dictatorships and their filthy tools, the terrorists, will find themselves facing an elected legitimate government in Iraq.

The tyrants nightmare is becoming reality, now they will have to deal with the scariest word in their dictionaries; THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
The terrorists have challenged the bravery of the Iraqi people but they messed with the wrong people. The people have accepted the challenge; democracy and elections are not a luxury for Iraqis, it's an issue of life or death. And the terror brutal campaign has only made the people more determined to go on with the change.

Thanks again Tomder!

good question sissy,

i mean if the enemy of the people can hide out there and stash their weapons there i don't know why they couldn't vote there....except the mosques are more beautiful and expensive to rebuild than the schools so i guess they think who cares if the schools get bombed? they are cheaper to rebuild and they have "our" money to do it....just a guess darlene

I am so glad for the people of Iraq who were brave enough to get out and vote today!

To see such a large number of people willing to go out and vote under threat of death means to me the people want freedom from dictatorship.

I hope this vote shows the terrorists that their ways are not wanted and that stability
and freedom is achieved!
