Iraq is a graveyard for optimism, but it is hard not to feel at least a tremor of hope after spending an afternoon like I just did, in a Baghdad neighborhood that was once one of the deadliest in this blood-soaked country. It is called Ameriyah, and to give you an example, last May 14 American soldiers were killed there in a series of attacks, seven in a single day. Al Queda was everywhere in this predominantly Sunni neighborhood, its death squads terrorizing the minority Shiites, imposing strict Islamic law and killing between 15 and 20 civilians a week.

I know families of soldiers who send great news home about how things are really looking up over there. People are actually shopping with stores open and stands out in the open also.
Great news!

Holy crap! Cons are now spouting Geraldo as proof of anything? Well, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Next thing you know, they'll quote Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter's spewings as fact.
