Miami Herald OpEd: Progress in Iraq.

Progress in Iraq
OUR OPINION: Smooth elections offer reason to hope for stable democracy
Sometimes the most remarkable stories are those that don't appear on Page One. Last weekend's provincial elections in Iraq caused hardly a ripple on the news front, but that's precisely why the event was noteworthy. An election in Iraq went off so smoothly that hardly anyone noticed.

Compared to past elections, when daring to vote meant having to dodge bullets, this is a landmark achievement. As welcome as this development is, however, it should not be misread. One violence-free election does not a democracy make. Nor does it signal the end of conflict. Still, it represents political progress, raising the prospect that Iraq might yet become the kind of moderate, stable Middle East state that the Bush administration imagined when it launched the war nearly six years ago.
The elections for regional council representatives in 14 of the country's 18 provinces will not change Iraq's political make-up.

Wow. All of a sudden, there's good news to report in Iraq. That Obama guy is doing a hell of a job over there....   :whatever:

All that which the messiah touches turns to gold. Now if the lord our King Mr. Zero would only give me a pony and touch it, my life would be complete and I shall want no more.

If all he touches turns to gold, how are we still in this economy?

Because it turns to "fools gold".
