"Let Freedom Ring In Iraq" !

"We have defeated the terrorists today � the winds of freedom are sweeping across Iraq"

32-year-old Samir Hassan, who lost his leg in an October car-bomb blast, was determined to vote. "I would have crawled here if I had to,"

"the first time the Iraqis will determine their destiny,"

"I don't want terrorists to kill other Iraqis like they tried to kill me. Today I am voting for peace," he said, leaning on his metal crutches.

"This is a wedding for all Iraqis. I congratulate all Iraqis on their newfound freedom and democracy."

"I cannot describe what I am seeing. It is incredible. This is a vote for the future, for the children, for the rule of law, for humanity, for love."

"We have no fear."
