Fire of Liberty

Fire of Liberty

Just think, some 37 years ago yesterday (January 30th, 1968), the MSM and Walter Cronkite were yelling the sky is falling and all things are lost. While they were wrong about the Tet Offensive (where we eventually won the battle and beat back the attackers). Even some days earlier, blowhards like Teddy Kennedy, Boxer and Byrd were expressing the same arguments about Vietnam and the emerging "quagmire". Along with that, Kerry is still giving his election spill and downplaying the President's notion of spreading the fire of liberty and ensuring other's freedoms.

It's amazing how the people of Iraq demonstrated their desire for to be free when they opted to defy the terroristic thugs and choose the own representatives. We all know that this in one of the many steps that the Iraqis must take to eventually become a modern democratic state but is still a giant leap compared to the years under Saddam.

I wish our freinds in Iraq a fruitful future and our troops God's Speed
