Purple Fingers

It just keeps getting better and better in Iraq. Those people have a taste of freedom and they love it! They are turning out in bigger numbers than we do for their elections. It's just incredible what has gone on there since we took Saddam out for them. There are women voting and being educated, which is new to the area. They are at 97% of their oil production, which will help their economy keep getting better. Iraqis are at a much faster pace than most countries at getting their country together under a new government. Most of their country is excited about and ready to enjoy freedom.

With all of the great things going on, it's amazing to hear many in our newspapers and on TV and even elected officials try to tear down all of the great things going on there. I've heard and read so many demoralizing things that could really affect the great Americans assisting in the Iraqi cause. I keep hearing and reading about how America is the bad guy for helping this country gain access to freedom. "Pull out" they say. "We shouldn't have been there to begin with" they say. "It's not our business" they say. They lie about the motives of going to Iraq saying it was all about 9/11 or getting their oil. They lie about what is happening on the ground and how much the Iraqi people want and need us to assist them. There are American lawyers helping defend Saddam in his trial. This is disgusting behavior by these people.

I challenge any and all of these negative people to do their research. Go find all of the great things happening there. Compare the rule under Saddam to the freedom the people are enjoying now. Find every single positive thing you can and dwell on it. I don't care if you like the leaders involved or if you agree with their politics, just find all of the great things going on in Iraq. It's the holiday season and you shouldn't be so negative anyway. Compare the truth with the negative fiction being reported and you will see what a wonderful thing we are doing and the real reason we are doing it. Freedom is the greatest gift anyone can be given. Check out all of those purple fingers!
