Spas (thank you) from an Iraqi Kurd

The new blog Iraqi Future, Iraqi Hopes, Iraqi Dreams is one I'll be reading frequently - the author is an Iraqi Kurd who now resides in Washington D.C. His first message is a must read for those who do not understand the difference our troops have made in Iraq.

I felt it very necessary for the first blog to be the true message that every Iraqi wants to tell the American soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, and American public. That message is simple, it is thank you. We thank you for everything that you have endured in bringing up liberation and bringing us a chance to move forward for tyranny and oppression. After the decades of misery the Iraqi people had really given up all hope that anyone would come to help them but then one day we saw those stars and stripes waving in downtown Baghdad and everyone knew what that flag represented.

Without the selfless sacrifice that the American people made despite international pressure to not liberate Iraq, we would not have the opportunity to even write on this blog. Without the liberation there is no way we would ever be able to tell you about the terrorism ties Saddam and his regime so truly enjoyed, without the liberation there would have been no way to tell you how much we yearn to be like you, without the liberation there would have been no way to tell you how much we love you.

Read the rest here.

I for one would like to thank you. I knew there were Iraqs who were happy to see us there. My son is in his 2nd tour in Iraq. He said all he saw was the bottom of the feet, when he encountered an Iraq. I am going to copy your letter to let him know that there are people who are glad that the Marines are there.
