Rebirth of a Nation

"You can’t help but see the winds of change in this country...

A couple months ago I wrote that the real story here was the progress being made toward a stable Iraq. I wrote about the rebuilding of the infrastructure and how American media focused only on the violence and unrest. There have been so many reports lately that solidify the progress being made here in Iraq, that not even the Democrats nor the media can hide it anymore.

More and more of this country is being run by the Iraqi government and that is great news for everyone. I have seen it with my own eyes and have heard it from our guys on the road. When the locals volunteer as Citizen Guards to help police the area and rid terrorists from their lands, it is a good day for all. When leaders and townspeople aid Coalition Forces in tracking down bad guys and locating weapons caches hidden in homes of insurgents, it is a good day for all."
