Message From Iraq
(New York Times) Editorial - A long silenced majority of ordinary Iraqis defied threats of deadly mayhem to cast votes for a new, and hopefully democratic, political order. All who claim to be fighting in the name of the Iraqi people should now recognize that - in an open expression of popular will - Iraqis have expressed their clear preference that these battles be fought exclusively in the peaceful, constitutional arena. Today, along with other Americans, whether supporters or critics of the war, we rejoice in a heartening advance by the Iraqi people.
