Making History Proud

Here's what Sec. Rumsfeld said to US troops in Iraq Christmas Eve. Very inspiring!

"One day some years out you'll have children. One of them will come home with a textbook and there will be a chapter on Iraq and it will talk about the Saddam Hussein regime and hundreds and thousands of dead people killed by that regime in mass graves. And it will talk about the struggles, the victories that were achieved over Saddam Hussein, that regime, and the struggles that have helped Iraq along its path to democracy, ushering in a new chapter, a new hopeful era not just in Iraq but in the Middle East.

"Each of you will be able to look down at your children or your grandchildren and say that you were there. That you helped to make that possible, which you have done. And you helped to bring freedom to literally millions of human beings — men, women and children that you see on the streets. ... You'll look back with a great deal of pride on the history that you've made, and you are making history. That is what you're doing, and it is a proud history indeed."
