The other day I highlighted Mohammed and Omar’s loss of their brother-in-law at the hands of murderous terrorists. I even went so far as to send out the entire post by Mohammed to my mailing list and prefaced it by saying that when I read stuff like this I know that our work in Iraq will come to a fruitful ending.
Yesterday Michael Yon stepped into the discussion with One Reason For Hope. He writes; “It is not the Coalition that gives me great hope for Iraq, but that I know there are many good, intelligent and courageous Iraqi men and women. Real sacrifice, real courage, and great hope emanate from this Iraqi man: Please read on…”
Mohammed and Omar and their fellow Iraqi’s are living in fear every day. Murderers, roam the streets of Bagdad taking the lives of anyone that they feel is inhibiting their ability to thwart freedom’s blossoming hold on the people of Iraq. Coalition forces are working to stabilize the situation, but it is people like Mohammed and Omar that will truly make or break the success of Freedom and democracy in Iraq.
Currently, forces that had been stalemating the process have conceded and stepped down and for the first time we see that civil matters are improving. Omar, Mohammed and their Brother-in-law were leading the “fight” in this arena, not as politicians, or as foot soldiers, but rather as voices of sanity amidst the chaos.
Their loss is felt by us all who oppose terrorism the world over.
