I am proud that now Iraqis are really united and all of them went to vote, unlike what happened in the last elections. Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, Kurds, Arabs, Sabians, and Yazidis became all like one hand. They became the dagger that stabbed terrorism. I am proud of police and army and the electoral commission workers. Thank you thank you thank you. I wish there was another word that I can thank you with. “Thank you” is so little compared to your bravery.
Go to hell, Zarqawi. Go to hell Osama. Iraqis are brave and will never be afraid of your hatred. They are the ones who are going to defeat you and make the whole world gets rid of you and your henchmen.
The first thing I did this morning was I turned on the TV on the CNN to watch how the elections went in Iraq. A voting woman was speaking in English said, “We are celebrating the real democracy in Iraq.” she looked very happy and excited. I could tell how happy she was. Tears filled my eyes and the National Anthem came in my mind to increase these tears that were falling out of happiness.
My homeland….
Glory, beauty, sublimity, and magnificence in your hills
Life, safety, happiness, and hope in your air
Will I see you rise, safe, flourished, profitable, and dignified?
Will I see you rise reaching the Simak (a name of a specific start), my homeland?
My homeland.. The youth will not give up. Their goal is to achieve independence,
or they die
We don’t fear death and will not be slaves to the enemy
We don’t not want an everlasting humiliation and a miserable lifeWe don’t want that.
Instead, we will restore our immortal glory
My homeland….Sword and the pen, not words and conflicts, are our symbols
Our glory, vows, and sense of responsibility are our motivations
Our strength is an honorable aim and a waving flag
Bless you in your sublimity, defeating your enemies
My homeland….
Praise be to you Iraqis. Praise be to you God. Victory is ahead. Go for it.
