A Simple Act of Bravery
We have here our idiotic "Rock the Vote" and "Vote or Die," but the Iraqis faced the prospect of "Vote and Die" and turned out anyway. Most of us never has to face such danger for something we consider so simple (or even an inconvenience). God bless them and guide them. It's only a start, but hopefully it will lead to what the region needs and the what the good people there deserve. 13 Responses To "A Simple Act of Bravery"
And we can't get half the people in our own country to vote - and a poll I saw earlier this week showed that 50% of the people taked to wouldn't risk their life for that freedom. The Iraqi people are an example that some of those in the US need to follow. #1 - Posted by: Jo on January 30, 2005 03:12 PMGo Iraq!!! #2 - Posted by: Pablo on January 30, 2005 03:14 PMWhen you think about it, it's amazing that we can vote. It's a truly revolutionary idea that we can pick the people who govern us. My grandparents, who came here from Galicia (the one in Poland, just north of Slovakia, not the one in Spain), couldn't do that . . . until they came here. I remind myself of that every time that I'm tempted not to vote. #3 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on January 30, 2005 03:38 PMWhere are the Spanish? The Iraqis truly are brave. It's a reminder of how lucky we are to live in a country where we can vote without being in danger of losing our lives. The elections were a great success, yet we already have Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry carping about them. "Bush needs to get past the elections" (Kennedy) Hmm, John, well, their LAST election was "Do you want to re-elect Saddam Hussein" (check yes or no) I mean, the Sunnis got to decide whether they wanted to re-elect him or die. God bless our troops, and the the brave Iraqi national guardsmen, and the entire country of Iraq. I hope they're able to establish a functioning democracy. #5 - Posted by: Jen on January 30, 2005 04:00 PMAmen to that. I've been on a cloud all day, and I realized a few minutes ago that it's because of the historic events occuring today. These people are standing up for their own right to freedom in a way that is every bit as brave as the Boston Tea Party or any other act of protest in the American Revolution. Makes me feel good that our country is to thank for these people's chance at liberty. #6 - Posted by: Brian on January 30, 2005 05:26 PMY'all should check out this link to Free Republic. It's a pictorial representation of Iraqi elation at the idea of voting. Very impressive to be a "part" of it. On that link someone wrote, which I would like to see dedicated to our servicemen & women: Michell Malkin relayed a comment from someone who asked "where are the human shields from hollywood protecting the polling sites?" #8 - Posted by: a2ndlife on January 30, 2005 08:54 PMGod Bless Iraq!!! Death to tyranny, long live freedom!!! #9 - Posted by: Jeff H on January 30, 2005 10:36 PMOur prayers kept the Iraqis safe and brought them to the polls. They had a hand in their own freedom and now they shape their future! #10 - Posted by: Oddybobo on January 31, 2005 08:28 AMYeah Frank. Great post. I love the Iraqi people's courage and strength and may they learn to live in peace and freedom. God Bless our Troops for their wonderful work and brave sacrifices for others lives. #11 - Posted by: Bikermommy on February 1, 2005 11:48 AMDude, voting is, like, so Hitler! #12 - Posted by: perfectd on February 12, 2005 10:23 PMPost a comment
