To all the Iraq naysayers, who ignored Joe Lieberman, and have ignored all the progress in Iraq, I note this from today’s BBC headlines:

Iraqis have voted in large numbers for their first full-term government since the US-led invasion in 2003.

Voting was extended by an hour in some areas because of the high turnout, Iraq’s election commission said.

Sunni Arabs, who boycotted the last election in January, appear to have participated in large numbers, even in insurgent strongholds.

When all’s you feel is hatred of President Bush, and you take America’s freedoms for granted, it is easy to ignore the monumental changes that Dubya has initiated in the Middle East.
