Regional Democracy Center Opens Its Doors
Iraq Fact of the Day

The same week Iraq adopted its historic "bill of rights," more than 3,000 Iraqis from all walks of life -- representing 150 tribes -- gathered to celebrate the opening of the Regional Democracy Center in Hilla. The center serves as a meeting place and provides information on democracy and the rule of law. In a special videotape, President Bush told the attendees: "The time has come, and your opportunity is here ... your Center already represents an organization that includes all people working together toward this common goal: A democratic Iraq."
