A Report from the Ground of the Iraqi Election

Healing Iraq has up a personal report from the Iraqi Elections. It appears this Blogger's family were shedding tears of joy seeing Iraqi's voting for peace and a future.

The turnout in Iraq was really like nothing that I had expected. I was glued in front of tv for most of the day. My mother was in tears watching the scenes from all over the country. Iraqis had voted for peace and for a better future, despite the surrounding madness. I sincerely hope this small step would be the start of much bolder ones, and that the minority which insists on enslaving the majority of Iraqis would soon realise that all that they have accomplished till now is in vain...Another surprise was to see some Iraqis who had fled the country in fear of reprisals, such as the families of ex-regime figures and ex-Ba'athists, actually voting and encouraging others to vote! I know some of those from school and college and I imagined they would be bitter about the whole process, but many were not.

There you have it folks. It is not just the so-called FoxNews "reality distortion field." The Iraqi elections actual appear to have been a real success. Praise God!
