31 January 2005 >> From a couple of Iraqi bloggers:

We would love to share what we did this morning with the whole world, we can’t describe the feelings we’ve been through but we’ll try to share as much as we can with you.

We woke up this morning one hour before the alarm clock was supposed to ring. As a matter of fact, we barely slept at all last night out of excitement and anxiety.

[...]

We had all kinds of feelings in our minds while we were on our way to the ballot box except one feeling that never came to us, that was fear.
We could smell pride in the atmosphere this morning; everyone we saw was holding up his blue tipped finger with broad smiles on the faces while walking out of the center.

[...]

Anyone watching that scene cannot but have tears of happiness, hope, pride and triumph.

This is a great day to be an Iraqi. Feels pretty damn nice to be an American today, too.

My hope for the future is that Iraqis can continue driving their nation towards liberty.
