I am glad that the Iraqi people can now enjoy an almost normal life. Those fanatics are dying away, literally. It is time for healing to begin.
Iraq was a festering sore, the US put on a bandage that was not applied properly and the infection got worse. Now the wound is healing. The Surge of 'antibiotics' stabilized the situation so that the sore is healing properly. There are still some of the virus floating around, but if the bandage and the medicine continue to work, then the virus should not be able to rebound and damage the healing body of Iraq. If the medicine is stopped too soon then the virus might be able to kill this weak young country.
Democrats, the Party of the People, want this young country to die. Republicans, the Party of the Republic, want Iraq to flourish and provide a stable base for the other Middle Eastern countries. Moderates want the world to be safe and at quiet - not that it ever has been, but we can all dream.
Iraqis begin to emerge from the dark - Telegraph: "Three years after kidnappings, a car bomb and threats from religious extremists brought the curtain down, the theatre's players have at last deemed it safe to tread its dusty boards once again. Their play, which tells the story of those dreadful times, is just one of many signs that life in Baghdad may be finally returning to normal. 'For years we lived in danger, because the religious extremists disapproved of people dancing and performing on stage,' said the theatre's dance instructor Hannah Abdullah, 38, as she put a mixed troupe through their paces in the darkened auditorium. 'Three of our dancers were kidnapped for that reason, and we could only perform outside of the country. But now things are better. The play tells about all the car bombings and killings, and how the mothers of the dead wept many tears. But it finishes with the sun appearing and everybody forgetting about the civil war.'"
