And the indelible ink smeared on their fingertips became a symbol of defiance, heroism and extraordinary courage as they danced through the streets.

Every drop of blood that was shed in this Iraq conflict came to this moment. So that Iraqis could vote, choose their own government leaders, write a constitution guaranteeing human dignity, freedom and self-determination. No more mutilations, gassings, maiming, being hurled off of rooftops or any other "punishment" generated in the sick minds of a lunatic dictator's idle sons.

Just as they told Reagan, not so long ago, that he was a madman bent on destroying the world, they told Bush that he had put America in jeopardy because he stood firm against a murderous dictator. And as Reagan opened up the Iron Curtain for freedom to flourish, Bush has now opened up the Middle East to democracy.

There have been naysayers throughout history who have provided examples of silliness that, when heeded, has thwarted progress. Then there are those great leaders who come along who heroically do what must be done to advance the human condition despite the doubters, critics and naysayers.

Take a guess at which group is remembered throughout history -- those who wring their hands claiming the world is flat or those who heroically set sail for uncharted destinations and new discoveries?
