Joy Expodes Across Iraq...
Iraqis are joyfully celebrating their first election according to this report from the Washinton Times.Indeed, considering the pain and suffering they went through to get to this point, they have accomplished something worth celebrating.
"The street was crowded since 7 a.m. I woke up to the voices of the people
on the street -- I did not expect such a number," said Thaer, a Sunni engineer
who lives in eastern Baghdad, as he sat chatting with his neighborhood friends.
"Everybody feels that he is human today and can have a
free voice. No one wanted to lose his chance," he said, elated at the chance to
cast his ballot. "I think today will show these terrorists lost their chance in
this country. "But I want to say one thing: I want to
thank the U.S. soldiers for bringing this to Iraq," said the ex-soldier who had
been imprisoned by deposed ruler Saddam Hussein. "Without them, we would have to vote for Saddam always."
