For the first time ever, Iraq has recognized Christmas as an official holiday. Not only are Christians excited about this development, but REAL Muslims – not the extremist ones – are also happy about it. This is a great video from CNN.
This would NOT have been possible without the efforts of American troops under the leadership of President Bush. The Middle East is beginning to understand and appreciate true freedom like they’ve never known. And it starts with Iraq.
As the country of Iraq continues to become more prosperous and successful, other Middle East nationals will see this example and desire it for themselves, if they don’t already. These changes will hopefully come internally. The Afghan people may also look to the example that Iraq has become and desire the same positive outlook for their lives. They will turn against the Taliban and terrorist forces and understand that true peace comes from freedom and democracy.
