More good news from Iraq: Despite all the talk about widespread unrest, sectarian violence, looming civil war, roadside bombings, and rising death tolls, several towns west of Baghdad were the scenes of parades in the streets. This represents an important step in the return to normalcy in Iraq. After all, if things were really as bad as the media has been saying, would people have the time or inclination to throw parades amid the mayhem? No, of course not!
Of course, the parades--in some cases less than a mile from American bases--were being held by heavily armed insurgents linked to Al Qaeda, but you gotta take your good news where you can get it.
