Peace in Iraq is on the horizon
No it is not. This surge of 30k troops is noting in a country of 26 million peoples. The relative calm they are so happy about is because the bar for any semblance of relief is extremely low in Iraq. And this decrease in violence has been done so mostly by cutting deals with sunni militias....and shia militias whereby parallel forces and militias are now officially being subsidized by the US military which has given Iraqi govt. its nightmares where they see this leading to an eventual Mexican standoff with these well armed militias. Plus the largest shiite militia has temporarily retire for Muharram. while Kurds are busy in northern Iraq with Turkey.
Iraq was doomed from the beginning and there is no saving it. No Iraqi had any asinine ideas that this war for their liberation. Not even the million dead in the past 4 years.
