There has been a political reconciliation. The largest Sunni bloc recently rejoined the government:

BBC:
The main Sunni Muslim bloc in Iraq has rejoined the Shia-led GOVERNMENT, in a significant lift for Prime Minister Nouri Maliki.

The return of six ministers from the Accordance Front to the cabinet was approved by lawmakers.

The Sunni bloc withdrew almost a year ago following a row over power-sharing.

A spokesman for the Accordance Front said its return was a significant step forward for political reform in the predominantly Shia country.

As for the reduction in violence - that has occurred and it has been maintained now that the surge troops have been withdrawn.

15 of 18 legislative benchmarks set by Congress have been met. Undeniable progress.

I know, you liberals consider all dissenters from your opinions evil fascists. Thats a shame.
