Iraq Elections - The President Scores
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that the President scored big with today's election in Iraq. You also must look at it as potentially the most significant event for the transformation of the Middle East in many, many years. Yes it is not perfect, and it is far from realizing what we would like Iraq to be, but it is a step, a big one. Has there been another democratic election with as much participation in the Arab world, one as open, with as many candidates, parties, and voters? Just think if somehow it actually does work? What would that mean to Saudi's, Iranians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Libyans, etc. I know that Bush has made many, many mistakes, but this is a big deal. Let us all hope that it leads to the real deal, for all our sakes.

The Holy Spirit's message on The Christian Prophet blog, teaching as usual, goes into the feelings the Iraqi voters feel as they begin to take responsibility for their lives.
