Iraqis voted again today. There is little fighting, and no reports of major violence as Iraqis go to the polls. We've won in Iraq. The people there now have the freedom to vote for politicians who will make their lives better; the voices of the people count.
The President of the United States ignored this important event in the lives of the Iraqi people in his weekly address. Instead he chose to talk solely about the economy and to extol the virtues of the tax cheat he has installed as Treasury Secretary, at the head of the IRS.
I want to be hopeful about this new administration, but it's hard to feel good about a man who could be so callous towards the fragile and important democracy he now has a great deal of responsibility for. Whatever his feelings about military action in Iraq, our President must do the right thing for them as well as for us: for their rights were bought at a great price to us, and we must support them.
