Some Good News from Iraq

Here's an excellent article from the strongly left leaning New York Times. Do note that the two authors have been extremely critical of the Iraq War in the past. But things are changing for the better.

An historical reminder: The American Civil War lasted between 1861 - 1865. In early and even mid 1864, things looked terrible for Abraham Lincoln and the North. But then they finally got the right generals into place and tide turned - dramatically and quickly.

Only history will tell whether 2007 is compared closely with 1864 but one thing's for sure: In our modern day 24/7 news cycle, one cannot realistically base one's feelings about a long war on any single events that happen every few hours.
