Which is my third point. If all goes even reasonably well, and if a combination of elections and prosperity is enough to draw more mainstream Sunnis into politics and away from Baathist nostalgia, it will have been proved that Bin-Ladenism can be taken on—and openly defeated—in a major Middle Eastern country. And not just defeated but discredited. Humiliated. Is there anyone who does not think that this is a historic prize worth having? Worth fighting for, in fact?

Boy 'o Boy... Doesn't this just sweetly summarize the situation..

Amazing insight from Christopher Hitchens, one of the left's most prolific and intellectual writers.

One of the few individuals on the left who possesses principles that he understands are worth fighting for and also worth proliferating amongst the rest of humanity.
