A message from Iraq

IRAQ THE MODEL

I am once again impressed by the level headed, commonsense of the bloggers at Iraq the Model. Mohammed and Omar provide the best source for anyone wanting an Iraqi perspective from downtown Baghdad.

Money quote:
There's no going back thirty years to the days of Saddam an there's no going back a thousand yeas to the days of the Caliphs.
It's over…
We have accepted the rough road and the outcome will not be in the benefit of the criminals. The war is tough, painful and hard but I have no doubt of the outcome that will mean the end for the supporters of tyranny and extremism.
Surrendering is much closer to them than it is to us and history will remember with pride those who sacrificed for the freedom of Iraq…
Maybe I will not live long to see that day but my children will certainly see it.
Sorry whiners, losers and pessimists. I only know to accept a challenge when I face one and I recognize only victory as an end.
