Sentiment: POSITIVE
Democracy still has a real hope and chance in Iraq, and true freedom in this country would be the greatest testament to those who gave their lives for it.
I am all in favour of democracy in Iraq.
On Jan. 30, millions of Iraqis will cast ballots in the country's first fair and free election in decades, marking continued progress in Iraq's transition toward a country built on the pillars of democracy and freedom for all.
The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and the ignorant believe to be liberty.
It is important that the Iraqi people have confidence in the election results and that the voting process, including the process for vote counting, is free and fair.
Iraq is part of a legitimate American effort not to have democracy everywhere but to have democracy somewhere.
The Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.
Democracy is just a reflection of our morals and the things that we believe.
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
We believe that an Iraqi founding national assembly, freely elected, must decide the future of Iraq.
