Michael Yon Captures the Moment in Iraq


Michael Yon, the independent mil-blogger who embeds with our troops in Iraq, has captured another iconic photograph there. This one illustrates the re-opening of a Christian church and the raising of its steeple cross. You can view it and a paragraph-long story of its setup on Michael's website (which I support and so should you).

Things really are getting better in Iraq, despite what the mainstream media continues to spoon-feed to its audience.

Michelle Malkin, my favorite blogger, has a few more links to others who are also covering the new photo. And a good comment:

"Yes, Christian persecution remains rampant in the Muslim world and apostasy is still punishable by death. But there are glimmers of good news, and they won’t be broadcast on the nightly news or the front page of the NYTimes. Thanks to the
lens of Michael Yon, we can see a fuller, truer picture of Iraq than the 'grim
milestone'-driven legacy media lens allows us to see. That deserves thanks and
praise, too."
