It’s a shame that a modicum of competence seems to have taken 3-4 years to attain. Previous poor performance that has undermined public support for democracy in Iraq may still snatch defeat from the jaws of a sort of victory. The unwillingness of some to judge success as an acceptable outcome in Iraq is also part of the problem in creating a climate which favours further solidarity with Iraqi democrats.
