A Free Iraq?

On this deadliest day of fighting since the war began almost 2 years ago, I ask the question:

Will Iraq embrace freedom?

31 Americans were killed today in our on-going fight against terrorism and our attempt to bring free-elections to Iraq.

Many believe that this violent corner of the world will never be free ... while others, including the Bush administration, believe that when given the choice, people will always choose freedom over tyranny.

It looks as if elections will go ahead as scheduled, despite the almost constant attempts to undermine the January 30th date by Democrats. But, while they will go ahead and even though the Iraq police force is growing, there will have to be a strong US military presence on Election Day.

So, we will see elections in Iraq - but will their results hold? Will Iraq's be able to live in freedom once the high levels of American troops depart over the next several years?

In twenty, thirty, one hundred years, will Iraqis be living in freedom?
