2nd Amendment in Action

This is an example that leads me to believe,despite the moaning from the left about "puppet governments", etc; that the elections in Iraq really did have the meaning of autonomy to the people of Iraq. Even though they don't have a 2nd Amendment, or even a Constitution; this is an example of what the 2nd Amenmdment was put into our Constitution for.

Here's the story in a nutshell:

Citizens of Al Mudhiryiah (a small town in the "death triangle") were subjected to an attack by several militants today who were trying to punish the residents of this small town for voting in the election last Sunday. The citizens responded and managed to stop the attack, kill 5 of the attackers, wounded 8 and burned their cars. 3 citizens were injured during the fire exchange. The Shiekh of the tribe to whom the 3 wounded citizens belong demanded more efforts from the government to stop who he described as "Salafis".

The Iraqi citizens have a new feeling of nationalism, and they aren't going to let a group of Islamofacist thugs take it away from them. Note that this incident occurred right in the center of the region where the insurgents Islamothugs hold the greatest sway. The people are taking their country back.

If they can do it and establish a representative form of government, those 1500+ American soldiers will not have died in vain.
