The world is changing for better, Iraq amidst terrorist bombs is progressing.. Fallujah looks a distant past, and Sadr is now virtually considered as a bandit as new government announces that nine of Iraq main political parties are to disband their private armies and merge them with the national army,the accord does not include the radical Shiite movement of Sadr that has been battling U.S. forces in the south or any of the other rebel groups behind most of the violence in Iraq. The agreement was announced by Prime Minister Iyad Allawi ( Sistani backed)after he led his first meeting of Iraq's National Security Committee, and it will affect 102,000 militia members loyal to the nine factions, all of which are represented in the new Iraqi government. The fighters are to be disarmed and either integrated into the new Iraqi army or sent home with retirement benefits before Iraq's first democratic election, scheduled for January. The accord gives a boost to the new government's promise to address security concerns and to the U.S.-led effort to form a new Iraqi army that can gradually replace the roughly 135,000 U.S. forces in Iraq. The terrorists have retaliated in full <<Two car bombs exploded in separate cities in Iraq Tuesday, killing at least 14 Iraqis and one U.S. soldier. Dozens were wounded, including 10 American soldiers. A U.S. Marine was killed in action west of Baghdad. Elsewhere, six coalition soldiers — two Poles, three Slovaks and a Latvian — were killed in an explosion while defusing mines in Suwayrah, 25 miles south of Baghdad, authorities said. >> I am confident that the Iraqi new government with the help of allies shall overcome these obstacles.

The United States called for a vote on a U.N. resolution endorsing the restoration of Iraq 's sovereignty after striking a last-minute compromise. You are certainly singing a different tune today compared to what you had to say about the United Nations in the period prior to the invasion of Iraq. At that time you thought that the UN was "irrelevant" and compared it to the League of Nations! This resolution will pass only because Bush and his people have realized that unless they make compromises that helps achieve consensus by recognizing the concerns of other nations, they will get no resolution.
