Cross Not Too Heavy

It would seem that every blog that does images has this photo. Being the conformist I am I think that Classical Values should have it too! If for no other reason than to shame those who haven’t supported the Democracy in Iraq project.

Photo By Michael Yon - Christians and Muslims raising cross on Iraqi church
Michael Yon says in his original post that accompanied the picture:

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. (Videotape to follow.)

With a message like that it is a wonder our main stream media hasn’t picked up the photo. Especially since for a limited time it is royalty free.
My guess is that it doesn’t fit the narrative.
HT Instapundit who has quite a roundup. More here.

    Of course it doesn’t fit the narrative. Therefore, it must be ignored.

    Tolerance for Christianity? What will the evil Americans force upon them next? Tolerance for Jews?

    “Classical Values ” Is that the lastest way of saying Christian values? The pinnacle of tolerance – my ass!
    “Democracy in Iraq project”…that reads: Invasion of a soveriegn nation to secure their oil and appease Israel?
    What Bullshit!
