By the way, Iraq held elections yesterday with high turnout and low violence. Even more importantly, this time, the Sunnis are taking part in the elections, giving even more legitimacy not only to the resulting government but to the process of democracy itself.
This is a monster sized victory in Iraq.
You see, this is how the war on terror is won. This phase is to remove Iraq as a terrorist base. This campaign will not be won by American soldiers; the Iraqi people will win it by taking responsibility for their country themselves, and the only way for that to happen is for all major groups to participate in the process. The Sunnis have been holdouts until now. Their acceptance ofthe process brings the day that the Iraqi government will be truly able to care for its own people that much closer, and further isolates the terrorists.
And that's a good thing.
