It's Better Than You Think

Fire of Liberty

Though the MSM and various Democrats keep on running countless stories on how Sunnis in Iraq are not being marginalized and are not properly represented in parliament thus some resort to violence, they fail to point out that their are a lot of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds who are totally opposed to the terrorists and are making a difference in Iraq. One individual who is of this mold (and I suspect some 98% of Iraq as well) is Iraqi Sunni politician Mithal al-Alusia who has been recently re-elected while promoting the creation of an anti-terrorists alliance between Iraq, the US, European countries, Turkey and Israel. Even after losing two adult sons at the hands of terrorists in 2003 for advocating such ideas, al-Alusi still have a positive outlook on his country and is still not afraid to point out that the terrorists must and will lose in the fight for Iraq. In fact, I think he sums up the opinion of a large majority of Iraqis when he noted to Ilene R. Prushner of the Christian Science Monitor:
"We're not working in Iraq for personal goals. We work for something because we really believe in it," he says. "It would be stupid to let the terrorists win."
You've got to feel pretty good about the future of Iraq that al-Alusi was re-elected in a Sunni dominated region while advocating such ideas. Here's hoping for more al-Alusi's in the future. Maybe Reps. Murtha and Pelosi, Sens. Kennedy, Reid, Kerry as well as Howard Dean should look at al-Alusi before they start their "the sky is falling" antics on Iraq. Here's one to al-Alusi, may here see his dreams come true
