The biggest defeat for terrorists this century

The mainstream media don't often pause to reflect on America's victories--the civilized world's victories--against terrorism, dictatorships, and evil. Although perennial moron Ted Kennedy is already asking to "look beyond" the recently concluded Iraqi elections, it would be quite unfortunate to overlook the importance of millions of Iraqis turning up to choose their own government for the first time in a half-century. The terrorists have put their all into stopping or at least delaying today's vote, and 72% of Iraqis told them that they failed:

Some came on crutches, others walked for miles then struggled to read the ballot, but across most of Iraq (news - web sites) millions turned out to vote Sunday, defying insurgent threats of a bloodbath.

Suicide bombs and mortars killed at least 35 people, but Iraqis still came out in force for the first multi-party poll in 50 years. While turnout was scant in some areas, such as the Sunni city of Samarra, elsewhere it exceeded expectations.

Many cheered with joy at their first chance to cast a free vote, while others shared chocolates with fellow voters.

Meanwhile, here is the about-to-win-a-Pulitzer photo of a teary Iraqi woman with a stained finger indicating she voted. Click to enlarge:

More photos on powerline.

This is why we have 150,000 soldiers fighting every day to expand the self-evident truth that it is the right of the people to select their own government.
