"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Iraq

I've got a feeling Iraq is going to command more attention. The balance of power there seems to be in flux, with US Forces looking to regulat/ban ethnic militias (good luck) and popular Shias calling for an end to the US control over security. While this may or may not be resolved in a face-saving way, it's a bit of a rubicon:

Iraq's security minister accused US and Iraqi forces of killing 37 unarmed civilians in the mosque after tying them up.

That's Iraq's Security Minister, as in part of the new government. The "legitimate" occupation isn't too long for this world. We should have gotten out when we had the chance.

Also, welcome to the new Media Paradigm. It's a little depressing, but it's kind of interesting and important that we can get this kind of amateur/unfiltered view.

Lots of kids on YouTube. The commentary on a lot of these videos is pretty depressing too. Got a long way to go.
