Congratulations, Iraq

Iraqi citizens defied terrorists yesterday as they waited in lines and proudly showed off their ink-stained fingers proving that they had voted. Nine suicide bombers killed 35, and mortar rounds injured others, but upwards of 8 million Iraqis braved the insurgency to embrace democracy and freedom for the first time in their nation's history. Yesterday's historic election was just the start. Now the hard work of creating a constitution and crafting a government that will uphold freedom actually begins. Congratulations! You're in our prayers.
