...come these words of praise:

Hail our true friends, the Great People of the United States of America; The Freedom giving Republic, the nation of Liberators. Never has the world known such a nation, willing to spill the blood of her children and spend the treasure of her land even for the sake of the freedom and well being of erstwhile enemies. The tree of friendship is going to grow and grow and bear fruit as sure as day follows night. And the people deep down at the bottom of their hearts, they appreciate. Make no mistake about that.

Alaa wrote "Likewise, I am not going to say anything grandiose today...", and then he pens the beautiful and eloquent statement quoted above.

The responses from several Iraqi bloggers have been compiled in this post. I suggest taking a look.
