"Another fact is that the violence we have witnessed, especially against American troops, in the past six weeks is limited to less than 1 percent of the Iraqi territory, in the so-called "Sunni Triangle," which includes parts of Baghdad."

That's bull......much of the attacks have been in Bagdad but there have been attacks to the north, east and west. And they would be more in the south but the Brits have control of that part of the country.....just recently 6 Brits were killed.

He didn't say just in Baghdad, The "triangle" includes more then just Baghdad. Its where most of those who where part of or benefitied from Saddam regime are located.

He said the "Sunni Triangle" but he also said "1 percent of the Iraqi territory" which is about the size of the Bagdad metro area. That's not true. The area in which there are problems is much bigger than that.

"THERE are two Iraqs today: One as portrayed by those in America and Europe who wish to use it as a means of damaging Bush and Blair, and the other as it really exists, home to 24 million people with many hopes and aspirations and, naturally, some anxiety about the future."

I'm sorry; this is propaganda bs......there is only one Iraq where there is both progress and setbacks. Neither part can be ignored at this point.

It doesn't seem to me that the author is saying ignore the setback, but rather don't exagerate them or focus on them to the extent that you lose the bigger picture.

I agree but the setbacks are not minor.
