Iraq-Jordan
The New Democratic Iraq Born!
2005-01-30
From Hammorabi
No more 99.99 % in Iraq!
This is the figure of the Arabs' dictators except Saddam!
He used to get 100%!

Surprisingly those who voted for the master of the mass graves are abstaining now!

Our voting is:
No to the terrorists!
No to the dictatorships!
No to hate and racism!
No to the fascists!
No to the Nazis!
No to the mentally retarded tyrants!
No to the ossified, narrow-minded and intolerants!

The Iraqis are voting in few hours time for the new Iraq.

We are going to create our future by ourselves not by dictators.

We are going to say:
Yes for the freedom and democracy!
Yes for the civilized Iraq!
Yes for peace and prosperity!
Yes for coexistence!
Yes for the New Iraq!

Let them bomb and kill us. It will not deter us!
Let them send their dogs to suck our bones. We care not!
Let them bark. It will not frighten us.
Let them see how civilised to be free and democratic!
Let them die by our vote tomorrow! It is the magic bullet which will kill them!

Welcome New Iraq.
Welcome freedom and democracy.
Welcome peace and prosperity for all nations with out exception but terrorists!

#8  I'm reminded of the final song from Les Miserables which, ironically, was about the French back when they cared about goofy sh*t like freedom:

Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind the plough-share
They will put away the sword
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Tomorrow comes!
Tomorrow comes!

#6  It would be very nice if Americans would value the integrity of their own voting rights like the Iraqis do.

Iraqi voters must bring two forms of identification carrying a photograph to their local polling station. After voting, their name is crossed off the register and their thumb marked with indelible ink to prevent them from voting again.

#4  When the Iraqis vote, the outcome will probably be something aligned with the Shiites. However, the Kurds have developed quite a political force of their own. There will be checks and balances different than we in the US see. The Sunnis will be shiite outa luck for a while. Whatever. The point of the election is that Iraqis have a civilized alternative to government by murder and mayhem, be it Saddam or Zarqawi. If that seed is planted, then Iraq and the Middle East have great hope.

My hats off to Iraqi forces that have worked tirelessly in securing this day, our dedicated and professional US forces that have been doing a truly altruistic duty, and to the Iraqi people, that have, despite great personal danger to themselves and their families, gone out and voted. The elections are not everything, but they are a BIG SOMETHING. Despite the spin of the LLL and traitors like Kennedy want the world to believe.

#3  Good job American Soldiers. Helping the Iraq's vote for the first time in a real election. They may not have cheered you as much when you got there as we had hoped, but now they are cheering you with thier bravery.

#2  Good for you, Hammorabi, and congratulations to the people of Iraq!

What Mohammed of Iraq the Model wrote brought tears to my eyes:

"On Sunday, the sun will rise on the land of Mesopotamia. I can't wait, the dream is becoming true and I will stand in front of the box to put my heart in it." [emphasis added]

Beautiful!

Americans forget how precious - and fragile - freedom really is.

#1  In the Iraqis rear-view mirror as they head down the path to freedom is a crowd of left-wing American pols (Kerry, Kennedy, et al) giving them the finger!

You go, Iraqis. It aint always clean or pretty (e.g., Wisconsin, in our recent election) but it's ALWAYS better than what you had before!
