Good first step toward democracy. The work is not done yet, far from it.

No, its not. The deaths that occurred today are tragic, but its also far less than what I feared.
The interviews that I'm seeing today are anecdotal evidence that Iraqis are taking control of their country. I believe that this means that the day will soon come when they ask the U.S. to leave, and the day will come even sooner when they purge themselves of foreign terrorists.
I think that there will be an upsurge in violence over the next few months, but then it will continually decline.
The Iraqis now have a busy year ahead. They need to write their own constitution, and hold another set of elections.
I'm optimistic.
