the elections are heating up here in the Nineveh area. This should be a historical vote for Iraq, and will possibly drastically change the nations views and politics. there are some good guys and bad guys running for office and after the end of this month we will know where this war stands in the eyes of the government.
Terrorist activity is believed to peak during the elections with all sorts of new ways to spread the message of terror and instability in the region. In fact, just last night a 4 star general with a extremely influential family was killed when a suicide bomber sneaked in to his home and ka-boom!
So this morning when i popped on the morning (your night before) news and hearing the widely known sware in for Obama, i started thinking. Hearing how, for better or worst, his election is mending the loose threads of our society, and uniting the political parties, make me feel grateful. Grateful for the blessing of unity and cooperation in times of trouble. seeing this country torn into pieces, each party thinking they are right. killing and bombing until there is nothing left. I thank God that America has the honor and decency to "for the sake of the nation" forgive trespasses, extinguish the fire of hate, and love thy brother.
So any man (whether i voted for him or not) that this nation can hold as a symbol of peace and healing, i am OK with and accept him as my commander and chief. (not that i really had a choice)

You truely have 'eyes to see'.... I agree 100%. So proud you are giving it your all to lend to the positive (hopefully) political process in Iraq. You said you are helping to map the area and provide security & plans as the time draws closer.
