One Big Step on the Long Road

The new interim Iraqi government was installed today, ahead of schedule. Bremer and Senor are already back in the US with control handed over. I know that this will not stop everything that is going on over in Iraq, but this is a great move forward and a reason to be optimistic. The new PM hardly seems like a slouch and with Iraqi forces in place, he's promised to take the war to the insurgents in a way that we couldn't for fear of hurting our reputation even more.
