Less than two weeks ago, millions of Iraqi citizens stood up for liberty by voting in the parliamentary elections, in the face of militants who attempted to foil freedom by disrupting elections.
Perhaps our citizens at home could take a lesson from those who braved threats and intimidation to vote. Although this year has generated a great deal of heat and controversy, traditionally Americans have been less engaged as is healthy for our republic.
If our celebrity obsessed media would have spent as much time on the Iraqi election as they did Tiger Woods, we would have all benefited. Still, we can take a cue from Iraq and find the determination to be thoughtfully engaged in the political process.
If not, we get the government we deserve.
