Ibn Alrafidain, a Iraqi Blogger, has posted a salute to the American People.
“GWB is chosen for a second term as a president by the AMERICAN PEOPLE. As an Iraqi, I want to say thank you to (Al-Hurra) satellite TV. It covered the whole event and managed to show us, Iraqis and Arabs, a new horizon in life. Though occupation is something abhorrent, but there are some benefits. One of these is to be free in receiving a wide range of information. Showing the election to the Iraqis may have a positive effect on them. To learn from other people is a great experience. I think what we need here in Iraq, as people, is more than just watching and admiring what the others doing. We have to learn how to be interactive with other nations. I believe that we need an (educational rehabilitation) after what we had gone through for the past four decades.
Salute to the American people for adoring freedom and justice.”
This kind of post is the kind of thing the American people need to see more of, showing those doubters that yes, Arabs do actually want freedom and believe they can make it work.
Go to 2Slick’s Blog to get a American Soldier’s point of view on the above post, he has some great thoughts on it.
Ibn has a new post on his Blog today which describes some of the tactic’s used by the terrorists.
“People feel that their enemy is invisible. Menacing slogans are written on the walls. Death threats are made against students if they attend school or college. Threats are made against teachers, doctors, officials ?etc. Some take it seriously; others consider it as a joke. A coalition consists of Saddamians, fundamentalists, baathists, Arab insurgents backed by forces work from abroad, considers the election as a challenge between them and the government.”
plus his thoughts on the Iraqi debt that was written off, which was only accomplished by the hard work of GWB and his administration.
