KIMBERLY KAGAN and FREDERICK W. KAGAN have written so much about Iraq. Today, they posted Iraq's Remarkable Election:
"Iraq has gone from being an impending disaster to a golden opportunity. Helping Iraqi internal politics develop peacefully and across sectarian lines is a critical part of reintegrating Iraq into the Arab world, making the world's only Shiite-controlled Arab state acceptable to the Sunni regimes that surround it.

That reintegration, in turn, offers tantalizing prospects for balancing Iran and stabilizing the heart of the Muslim world.
The stakes in Iraq remain very high, but we are finally starting to see the return on our investment."
Indeed, Iraq looks a lot better today than at any point in 50 years!
Why did it happen?
The answer is that security was increased.
You can not have elections if bombs are going off at every corner.
Again, we congratulate the Iraqi people for such a display of political maturity.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had such a voter turnout for our state elections?
