Iraq Democracy Stronger Than Ever

In a historic moment, the people of Iraq spoke 78% in favor of the new constitution. Morale for the terrorists has never been lower. They see their power and ability to frighten and terrorize slipping away replaced by fear for their lives as Iraq's security forces grow ever more powerful by the day, while those of the terrorists are slowly whittled down to nothing. There is cause for all Americans to celebrate, for we have won the war.

Austin Bay via Real Clear Politics tells us a story of the democratic revolution as it takes hold in Iraq and wins the hearts and minds of the people there.

There will always be setbacks to progress. Nothing good has ever come without a price. But make no mistake, Iraq is a victory in every sense of the word. A war executed and soundly won in near record time (six day war excepted, Go Israel!), a brutal and murderous dictator replaced by a functioning democracy with higher voter turnout than most U.S. States, and a growing standard of living unparalleled in the region. It is a proud day to be an American, standing side by side with our new friends, the people of democratic Iraq.
