BAGHDAD . Someone had fun tinkering with the airline board at the old, disused terminal at Baghdad International Airport. It advertises a .special flight. on Japan Airlines from Basra to Sydney, Australia, while a flight from Baghdad to Mexico City is .delayed.. In reality, Iraq has been a no-go zone for most civilian aircraft for almost two decades. First, there were U.N. sanctions after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Then U.S.-led forces toppled the dictator in 2003, and Violence engulfed the country. Yet, now that insurgent attacks and Sectarian bloodshed have ebbed during the past year, Iraq's government is beginning to promote tourism. It will be a tough sell . and even if officials can grab the attention of the adventuresome, Iraq's tourism facilities are shabby. The opening of a new airport last month in the southern city of Najaf is expected to help boost the number of religious pilgrims, mostly Iranians, visiting Shiite shrines to 1 million this year, double the number that came in 2007. ...

From the Wall Street Journal , “My Bet with Francis Fukayama” by Bret Stephens Stephens begins the process of figuring out how history will view the Iraq War. He also details how he took $100 from fickle philosopher Francis Fukayama: I'll grant that Mr. Fukuyama had decided the war was a mistake -- if only in a whisper -- before it was begun. Where does that leave us now? Perhaps it's worth considering what we have gained now that Iraq looks like a winner. Here's a partial list: Saddam is dead. Had he remained in power, we would likely still believe he had WMD. He would have been sitting on an oil bonanza priced at $140 a barrel. He would almost certainly have broken free from an already crumbling sanctions regime. The U.S. would be faced with not one, but two, major adversaries in the Persian Gulf. Iraqis would be living under a regime that, in an average year, was at least as murderous as the Sectarian Violence that followed its collapse. And the U.S. would have seemed powerless to shape events. Instead, we now have a government that does not threaten its neighbors, does not sponsor terrorism, and is unlikely to again seek WMD. We have a democratic government, a first for the Arab world, and one that is increasingly capable of defending its people and asserting its interests.

For years, when she approached Iraqi Army checkpoints and produced an identification card for soldiers to study for clues about her sect, Nadia Hashim used a simple formula to signal the mostly Shiite Muslim force that she, too, is a Shiite. "I am one of you," she'd say. The soldiers would harass Sunnis, but they'd simply wave Hashim through. Now her pat line gets her an official reproach. When a relative used it recently, a soldier admonished the driver and the passengers. "'We are Iraqis, and you shouldn't say such a thing,' " recalled Hashim. The 35-year-old mother of three said that for her and countless other Iraqis, the fact that soldiers are now using nationalist rather than Sectarian language is a significant change. Being a Shiite is no longer key to her survival. With Violence subsiding throughout Baghdad, residents said that sectarianism is becoming less pervasive. They're starting to think of themselves as Iraqis, not as hostages to hyphenated, Sectarian identities. » original news ... Source: www.weeklystandard.com --- 2 days ago
From the New York Times , “Not Quite Ready to Go Home” by Stephen Biddle, Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack The three authors have just returned from Iraq and are soberly analyzing the progress made and the road ahead: Violence in Iraq declined because the key combatants were either defeated in the field or agreed to cease-fires. These cease-fires were not accidents or temporary breathing spells. They were a systematic response to a new strategic landscape created by 2006’s Sectarian bloodletting, the American surge last summer, the defeat of Al Qaeda’s forces in Anbar Province and the decision by battered Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias that fighting no longer served their interests. The underlying strategic rationale behind these stand-downs gives reason to believe that they are sustainable rather than ephemeral. But this does not make the peace inherently stable. Wary former combatants are constantly on the lookout for signs — real or imagined — that rivals mean to take advantage of them. The cease-fires, moreover, are extremely decentralized: more than 200 tribal and regional groups have reached individual agreements with the United States to stand down from fighting; in time, some will inevitably test the waters to see what they can get away with, or will misinterpret innocent behavior from neighbors as threatening and retaliate... It would be tragic…to allow American haste and Iraqi political opportunism to undermine ... Source: www.washingtonmonthly.com --- 2 days ago

The bombing of a Samarra shrine touched off Iraq's worst Sectarian Violence. Will rebuilding the mosque help put the country back together? ...
(60 minutes) Day after day scores of bodies litter the streets of Baghdad. To staunch the Violence, the U.S. has spent billions to "stand up" the Iraqi forces. In Gangs of Iraq, a joint production of FRONTLINE and the "America at a Crossroads" series, FRONTLINE takes a hard look at how the four-year training effort has fared and how the coalition-trained forces have themselves been infiltrated by various Sectarian militias. Now, with President Bush sending new U.S. troops to Iraq, it remains to be seen if America and its allies can build a national Iraqi army and police and restore order. ...
