A Spot of Religious Freedom in Iraq

There's an excellent post by Michael Yon demonstrating an Iraqi situation about as contrary to the Media's portrayal as possible:
Christians and Muslims working together to restore a cross to a Baghdad church, and thanking Americans for their freedom.

Here's an excerpt:

"A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from "Chosen" Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John's, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope. The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. "Thank you, thank you," the people were saying. One man said, "Thank you for peace." Another man, a Muslim, said "All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother." The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers."
