Yes we're all waiting for Allawi to be assassinated or some-such, but it seems that for now the productive thing for Iraq would be for the UN to flood in there tomorrow and help train the police force, open the country up to foreign investment, track down the insurgents ("Iraqi style", as Allawi said), get Sistani out of bed and expressing his approval to the Iraqis, and then have a giant, orgasmic Worldwide Love-In.
The question is, is this a blow to terrorism or not? Can you imagine an Iraq in the mold of, say, Jordan? A real ally of the West, and voice of moderation in a region in desperate need of both? Well, one can dream...
