Turning the corner in Iraq

Our Leader's policies have made a real difference in Iraq. Where people of differing ethnicities and creeds were once were brutally forced to support a single Baathist political party, they now have ability to choose their political alliances. Today's Iraqi has dozens of parties to pick from, each offering it's own political, religious, and/or ethnic enticements. With a little bit of old fashioned party building and shiploads of Kalishnakovs and RPGs, these newly freed partisan activists can grow these parties into potent, armed, political movements. That's pluralism my friends, the basic building block of modern democracy.

Yes, democracy is blooming in Iraq. One needs only to read the Frenchman, Juan Cole's, city-by-city report of events that occurred over the weekend to see that Our Leaders dreams of Iraqi Freedom have finally been realized.

Here are a few highlights:
