I got on AIM with some friends over there, both US military and Iraqi civilian, and they are kinda treating this like the elections. Yes, it's good that it happened, but the prevelant discussions are all about ongoing problems. Saddam's removal from power was rejoiced once upon a time, and cheering and dancing filled the streets. That's just not going on anymore. When Saddam was overthrown, there was a general sigh of releif and hope was back in Iraq for the fist time in 30 years. That hope isn't there anymore.
It's kinda like being sick on your birthday. You're happy to get the cake but you still feel like shit.
