A New Iraq.
Base10 did not have a chance to mention this yesterday, but Iraq is now in charge of its own affairs. Base10 congratulates the new government of Iraq and wishes the best for the Iraqi people. I think it was a smart move to turn over power early and avoid the expected terrorist attacks. Combine this with NATO's agreement to train the new Iraqi military, and it really seems like the situation is turning around.

Predictably, Paul Krugman has already declared defeat...

UPDATE: Roger L. Simon has a biting critique of Krugman's article.
