March 21, 2007Some Smart SurgingSome smart things Petraeus is doing. In my opinion, Petraeus' operation against Sadr City is one of the most important changes. Al'Sadr made a poing of not firing at Coalition troops, so Petraeus' predecessors didn't fire back; that left al'Sadr free to do what they wanted to Iraqis. And while we're talking about Iraq, here's an interesting article from Totten. Apparently, while Baghdad burns, Kurdistan has been taking advantage of its peace to build astonishingly. Most Kurds are hoping the surge fails. The long, long disorder got Kurdish hopes up of an Iraqi fracture. I like a united Iraq better because bigger countries are stabler than small ones. UPDATE: link fixed - thanks for pointing out the error, wj. Posted by Jon Kay at March 21, 2007 06:28 PMComments
Jon, the link to Mickael Totten's article is broken. I think you've got an extra "h" in the html at the end. And it is a really great look at the part of Iraq which is actually working out the way the most optimistic had expected the whole country to go. Posted by: wj at March 22, 2007 11:03 AM |
