Congratulations! I have been reading your blog from afar (Alaska, USA) and following the election process. I am so glad you got out and voted. The right to vote is an amazing thing!
You go girrl! :D
This beautiful picture-- and your courage-- brought tears to my eyes. Many, many congratulations.
Congratulations! I am so excited for you and all the others in your country who are on the cusp of change for the better. I am absolutly in awe of the numbers I woke up to this mornning. So many more than expected in spite of the dangers.
There are many in the US who are praying for you... not just our soldiers but for you and your country.
Rose,
Of all the reports I've read from your fellow Iraqis
about voting, I'm most happy to read yours, since you seemed so doubtful about participating. But I'm glad you did and I'm sure, you're glad you did too. It's not often often one can be involved in such a historical eevent. So, congratulations to you
and a happy freedom day.
congratulations!!!! Happy Independence DAy!
Victory is yours!
Congratulations!
Your bravery has made the world a better place for everybody, everywhere.
You and all of your country have shown the rest of the world what real courage is. I stayed up last night watching the news, watching the people come to vote. The nervous anticipation I felt was enormous. I cannot imagine how you must have felt.
I will remember your courage forever; remember, nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough.
God bless Iraq, and it's people. God bless your new government. And God bless you, for standing up.

Congratulations!
And I hope peace and prosperity will follow shortly!
I think you have more courage than me.
Congratulations Rose and all of Iraq. May your courage and that of the other brave Iraqis bring forth a strong prosperous and free democratic nation. Your daughter will reap the benefit of the many sacrifices made by Iraqis and the MNF. Long live Iraq.

Rose,
Wonderful>. I am excited for you and and Iraq.
Thank you.
I am in awe of you, and all Iraqis who risked their lives and the well-being of their families to vote. Your daughter will be proud to know that her mother is truly a hero. A nation full of such brave, noble people surely must have a bright future. Today Iraqis made it known that the future is in their hands.
Bless you all.
Rose your picture says it all!
VICTORY!!!
You helped bring independence and freedom to your country, thanks for blogging and voting.
You are very courageous and now you're living in an independent and free Iraq! Peace will follow.

Rose, CONGRATULATIONS! You must be so proud of your courage. I am so happy for you. It must have felt so good to give those terrorists that big hard slap in the face.

Rose,
Congratulations! Believe me when I say that what American's want most is Iraqi success.
This blog is a tremendous vehicle for us living in the U.S. to understand just what's occuring in Iraq, for our own media in inadequate. Your blog will provide a richer picture. I will read it daily.
You were brave for voting! Good luck!
Best,

God Bless you and THANK YOU ROSE!!! You are awesome!
WOW. You go girl. I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations to you all of the Iraqis who voted today, Rose! My heart swelled with pride, joy, and optimism for your future as I watched the reports and video coming in from Iraq on the elections. You should know that many of us in the USA were online sharing our joy during your elections. We are SO VERY PROUD of all the brave Iraqis!! Congratulations and God bless you and your country.

Happy Birthday Iraq!
I haven't stopped by in a while - my fault. And I have to return to some serious reading in a minute.
I just wanted to stop by to congratulate you and your country.
There will be much more to do for Iraq, it will be hard and it'll take a long while to do, but I'm confident the Iraqi people will continue to rise to the challenge.
Rose, you are learning 1st hand lessons about freedom and liberty that many Americans - our soldiers and immigrants excluded - have forgotten for generations. As a descendant of Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Madison, and all our nation's forefathers, I envy you.
From this progressive liberal non-religious US Army veteran Taiwanese 1st generation native-born American at Columbia University, New York City, NY, USA ... Contratulations to Rose and to all Iraqis who voted today.
Someday, I hope to visit Iraq as an American guest and feel the same pride and satisfaction as when I served in the Republic of Korea.
Awesome- simply awesome!
congratulations!
Iraq, the Light of the World! Bravo!
Congratulations! All who love freedom in Iraq should be proud of this day. Voting in the face of terrorists' threats and bombings--that is absolutely incredible.
Congratulations on your courageous decision. The news reports about high voter turnout there suggest a lot of other Iraqis made the same courageous decision and voted - which is important because if moderate people like you don't vote, the election is left in the hands of the extremists. I was very happy and relieved to hear that the violence was not as bad as people thought it would be and that many people made it to the polls.
Just think, in another 30 or 40 years, you will probably be showing your grandchildren that picture of your ink-stained hand and telling them about what you did today.

With humility, respect, and admiration, I congratulate the Iraqi people for the victory they have won for themselves.
With your millions and millions purple fingers, you have taught the world an indelible lesson of courage.
I give thanks to God for your courage and your hope for a better future for you, your family and the people of Iraq. I am a Christian pastor in Hawaii. All the people in Iraq are in my heart today: Shi'ite, Sunni, Christian, Arab, Kurd, Persian. I have stained my own right index finger purple to remind me of what has been accomplished today. Salaam.
Congratulations! You and the rest of your people who voted are symbols of courage to the rest of the world. My hope is that the freedom you so deserve has taken root through your courage and determination. God bless you and God bless Iraq!
Way to go Rose!!
In Hebrew we say "Kol Hakavod"- meaning "All of the Honor to You!!" I wrote you a few weeks ago begging you to vote for your family and your children. Now you can tell them in 20 years that you were one of the first patriots to declare independence and true freedom for the new democratic Iraq!! You should know there are millions of people around the world praying and hoping and acting to help you! You are not alone, not just the millions of Iraqis, but tens of millions of Americans and Italians and Australians and English. The FREE WORLD salutes your bravery!

I admire the courage of you and the Iraqi people.
You showed backbone in chosing for democracy.
By the way: did you see the statistics for your page the last days it jumped to the many thousands a day.
Dear Rose,
With great humility, I send you congratulations.
Many people here in America do not vote, which always makes me sad.
But it was very inspiring to see all the pictures of Iraqis braving the threat of terrorist violence in order to take control of their own destiny.
I am so happy for you.
My best.
