Istook Statement on Iraqi Elections
January 31, 2005
Washington, D.C. -- "It's exciting that millions of Iraqis stood up against the terrorists and voted. That validates what Americans have fought and died for. Iraq's thirst for freedom is stronger than the forces of terrorism and tyranny. The MidEast is not a barren wasteland, because the seeds of democracy are taking root there."
