Iraq is Improving

It's been clear to several on the ground since last fall that the situation is improving dramatically. There are a number of reasons for this. One is the surge of American troops, as the numbers previously there were too few. But much of the credit goes to the Iraqis.

Now that the US primaries are over, this is starting to make the news. The Economist has a decent summary of where Iraq is. The more who read it, the better. I agree with its statement that America must remain flexible to conditions in Iraq, and not make a unilateral promise to withdraw troops regardless of the situation.
