Over the weekend, the Iraqi people voted for third time, but this time around, they voted for a permanent government of their own choosing. There was gunfire coming from the police, celebratory gunfire that is. The people were happy and dancing in the streets proudly displaying purple fingers. People interviewed on TV were optimistic and hopeful.

The Iraqis face a potentially gridlocked government put together with fist-fight rough and tumble Iraqi style politics which is a furious mixture of secular and non-secular interests jockeying for position and power. And the beauty of all of this is the fact that this is what the Iraqis have chosen. They have the freedom to choose their new government imperfect as it is, it will represent the will of the Iraqi people.

Look at the faces of these people. You cant help but feel the excitement and joy these people feel. I cant understand why the Democrats cant see how significant this is. The New York Times however does. They published a story about the the President authorizing the tapping of phones of suspected terrorists. It was purposely timed as to divert attention away from this history making moment. As expected, The Democrats want equal rights for the Terrorists or as I'd like to call them Terro-Americans.

Its time for the Democrats, American Nay-Sayers all, to face the facts. There is a new Constitutional Democracy in the middle east. It is called Iraq. And if the 70% of the people in Iraq who voted it in have anything to say about it, it is here to stay.

Can you feel it? I can.
