Iraq's government today said security statistics showed that Baghdad had "defeated the forces of darkness" after more than a year of sectarian warfare, and the United States said it was crucial that Iraqi leaders use the relative calm to get their political fighting under control.
The government released numbers indicating a major decline in violent attacks in Baghdad and the surrounding areas. Attacks such as bombings numbered 323 last month, compared with 850 in February, when a U.S.-led security crackdown was launched, according to the government figures.
So does this mean that we should see more and more Democrats conceding that Bush's plan for the surge is working and has given the Iraqi leadership the breathing room that is needed?
I think we've given them more then enough space and violence reduction for them to pick up the ball and run with it.
Hopefully they do that and not allow their petty differences to blind them to the fact that they are at a crossroads of history. They can turn their country into a blossoming democracy that gives a voice to everyone, or they can make everything a fight to the death and make their country a footnote to history.
