A burka wearing Shia Muslim woman who heads the American Islamic Council is speaking now. Interesting tactic. The DNC, as far as I recall, didn't have any outreach to the "religion of peace."

She's evidently an expatriate Iraqi. She's one of those people who actually remembers the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died under Saddam's rule. "There has been a war in Iraq raging for the last 3 decades... A war was waged by Saddam against his own people... I lived through it... Today, I come to tell you, Iraq enjoys a new day."

She's right, you know. Things are pretty messy there now, but so long as Iraqi civilians are willing to seize the opportunity, the chances to thrive in a secular, stable, and wealthy nation is uniquely theirs.

"I tell you proudly that your noble sacrifice was not in vain."

"I promise you, we will never forget what your sons and daughters did for us. Thank you."
