It's the community of good, happy, free people who make all this worthwhile. From Omar in Iraq:

My friends, celebrate the New Year, but don't forget to add a new name to your invitation list, We would love to join, and we will have the honor and pride to do so.

We came holding our slogan "it won't be our duty to anticipate the coming disaster, but to struggle for a better world"**

Give us a little space on your ship, we still stumble, but we shall never fall again. We have our star that will guide us.

Believe me my friends. We want to be on your side.

Our hearts are bigger now; they will not only carry our sorrow, but those of the entire world as well.

Your help have taught us a valuable lesson :( we're all sinners, I'm in jail as long as there's a man in jail, and I'm hungry as long as there's a hungry man on earth)***

We've got to create another world, a new land; where there's less pain and sorrow, and that will not be hard to do if the brave gathered for it.

I wish that my people as well as the oppressed people every where come to appreciate the gift of freedom, as when they do so they will be ready to fight for it and then, they will have it and no one could take it away from them.

As for the free people who helped us and are ready to help the others; I wish you peace and all the best as you certainly deserve it.

It is a struggle for a better world, Omar, and all of us who in some way support the effort are happy to have you beside us (Link via Instapundit).
