I’ve always been amazed how so many people generally believe the media about how we’re “losing” the war in Iraq. That nothing we’ve done has been helpful to them, and how the Iraqis hate us.
I wish I could take those people to Iraq so they could see the truth. So they could see how people have clean, running water in their homes; some of them for the first time in their lives. So they could see how children who have never been educated are now going to classes in schools that we helped build. So they can see those same children being inoculated for the first time! I want them to see how many people love us there, and beg us to stay longer because they’re afraid of the insurgents, and what they’ll do to everyone if we leave now.
If you don't believe that we're making a difference there, check out this story I found on CNN. It’s a story about how people in Bagdad are celebrating Christmas for the very first time. It also has some interesting commentary from the Iraqi people about the terrorists. Yes, they don’t call them freedom fighters; they call them terrorists because that’s how Iraqi’s truly see the insurgents.
It’s real eye opening to see how these people have freedoms they never had before. Freedoms that the United States of America, and George Bush gave them.
So whether you believe it or not, we’re not losing the war, and we’re really making a wonderful difference for the people of Iraq.
Here’s the link to the whole story. Read the entire article, you’ll be surprised by it.

Great thoughts. Sadly, it is the nature of mankind to find fault and pick the bad in most situations. Only by the grace of God do we see the good. Satan is a master of disguise.
I remember (but not often enough) to pray for God's help in finding the good in situations that I don't like. The glass really is half full.
