BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 28 — In a surprise, secret ceremony that was hastily convened to decrease the chances of more violence, United States officials today handed over sovereignty to Iraqi leaders, formally ending the American occupation two days earlier than scheduled.
Who knows what will happen. Hopefully the rulers will be able to put some weight on the people and bring discipline and law back to the region quickly.
