A post by Iraqis Mohammed and Omar, from the blog Iraq The Model sums up the triumphant feeling among the people of Iraq today. Read it all.
How can I describe it!? Take my eyes and look through them my friends, you have supported the day of Iraq's freedom and today, Iraqis have proven that they're not going to disappoint their country or their friends.Is there a bigger victory than this? I believe not.
I still recall the first group of comments that came to this blog 14 months ago when many of the readers asked "The Model?"… "Model for what?" Take a look today to meet the model of courage and human desire to achieve freedom; people walking across the fire to cast their votes.
Could any model match this one!? Could any bravery match the Iraqis'!? Let the remaining tyrants of the world learn the lesson from this day.
Jeff Jarvis has a list of Iraqi bloggers and others covering the election, and some updated commentary and links here. Keep scrolling.
