Good News - From Baghdad!

After all the suffering and bad news I've reported in this blog, I'm very pleased to be able to bring you some good news.

Free-lance war correspondent Michael Yon reports on the re-opening of St. John’s Church in Baghdad:-

A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from “Chosen” Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John’s, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope.

The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. ” Thank you, thank you,” the people were saying. One man said, “Thank you for peace.” Another man, a Muslim, said “All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.” The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers.

It's nice to see something good happening for once.
