THE IRAQI VOTE

I knew something big was happening when CNN International was giving positive reports first thing in the morning (Jan. 30). They are usually 90% anti-American. (Which, they probably don’t understand, makes them pro-assassin. There are only two sides there.) On this morning they were 70% positive. Something very big had to be going on.

On that morning they were giving positive reports at dawn. How could they have known so soon? They must have been monitoring other news channels that we don’t get here. They can’t depend on their own clueless reporters.

Anyway, what happened there was immense. A nation was born. To borrow from Churchill, the capture of Baghdad was the end of the beginning. The national vote was the beginning of the end.
