Wasn't that something with the statue falling, with Iraq's capital city looking like... they'd just won a major basketball tournament. Ok, a little more civilized, a little less gunfire.

And a reminder of just how amazing this all is, just remember that a few days ago we were talking about "quagmire" - days into the war!Next, the real risk for a quagmire: figuring out - as we finish gaining control of Iraq - how to navigate diplomatic waters such that we can install a regime that 1) won't appear to be our puppet and 2) can nonetheless transition the country to democracy and a halfway healthy economic system. That latter part is why we need the oil program suggested below - to make every Iraqi a stakeholder in an Iraqi economy where property and ownership are respected.
