God Bless your son-in-law! God bless all our military men and women who serve. There can be no higher calling. They are all heros, no matter what they do.

Wow. What a warm fuzzy. It would be a blessing if Iraq abandoned intolerance of diverse faiths. A balloon amuse a child for an hour; how long can an intolerant city deal with it? Does this speak to the many non-Muslims who suffered over the years in hiding or died torturous deaths clinging to their non-Muslim faith? (And for good measure, does it speak to those who are persecuted because they have no religious position?) I guess the real question is if it speaks to, or takes a step toward tolerance turning its back to intolerance. I’ll save you the research time – not on your life – intolerance is the core belief.

Job 8:5-7
5 But if you will look to God
and plead with the Almighty,
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf
and restore you to your rightful place.
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous will your future be.
NIV

May it be.

So no Democracy in Palestine, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Pakistan?

Turkey and Pakistan aren’t Arab countries. You’re thinking about Muslim countries.

This is good news. Really. However, I will be more impressed when Chanukah is as publicly celebrated.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED INDEED!!!

GOD HAS BLESSED THIS NATION AND IRAQ!!

Satan and his insurgents have failed, as usual.

GOD loves the U.S. SOLDIER!!! The ones that keep going back know this, that’s why they keep doing it. Spreading FREEDOM is contagious. My Son-in Law is on his 2nd tour, first in Northern Afganistan and now in Baghdad. Army’s 10th Mountain Division. God has Blessed them many times in their work there.

The Father, Son, & Holy Spirit are a very tough team with an undefeated record.

Our Founding Fathers knew this too!! The true History of this wonderfull nation proves it!! Ever read the Preambles of the Fifty United States of America?? The ACLU hasn’t, Liberals can’t, and Atheists won’t. There on the wrong team!

This is a Victory!! It’s GOD’s Victory!! Merry Christmas!!

are you kidding me, Ed? imagine the outrage if you tried to fly a hot air balloon with a picture of Jesus over Manhattan! i never thought i’d see the day when Iraq was more accepting than the US. i don’t think that’s hyperbole on this one issue.

It’s a tiny step in the right direction but the fact remains that Christians are continually persecuted in Iraq and all Muslim majority nations.

Having said that, I never thought I’d be jealous of a Christmas celebration, Iraqi-style. How I wish my town would actually use the word “Christmas” in the various holiday activities, never mind having an image of Jesus Christ displayed. That was pretty amazing.
