Pray For Our Troops...Pray For Iraq's Election...


This weekend all Iraqi's (even the insurgents!) have the wonderful freedom and opportunity to elect their leader for the first time in who knows how long. This is a real milestone! However, this first election will no doubt be a bit messy thanks to those who are trying to do whatever they can to hold on to whatever little power they have. It will be important for the free world to keep everything in perspective as Iraqi's take a major step in self-governance. It won't be perfect, and at first blush it really won't seem like anything has changed. Still, in the end, it's the very freedom that the Iraqi people will value far more than what they've been enduring for the past 30 years - a life of servitude and fear.

The media will report the negative side of this great moment in history, and it will almost seem as if they want everything to fall apart like some big house of cards. There are many people who seem to be doing their level best to encourage the enemy, and discourage the Iraqi people and coalition forces. I cannot understand how these people can demonize those who are desiring and fighting for freedom, while showing unrestrained compassion for those who are intentionally and continually taking innocent life. What's up with that?

Pray for the troops - American, Coalition, and Iraqi. Pray for the people of Iraq, and finally pray for insurgents and terrorists.
