Ditto what Andy said earlier. The liberal media has been suggesting forever that this a key to ending the violence in Iraq. Let’s see if they hail it with the same vigor that they’ve been calling for it to happen and been scolding the Iraqis for not managing to do it. I doubt they will. I also never understood why they thought this would have any significant effect on the Sunni insurgency. It won’t. But in the long term it could help with reconstruction and help give Iraq more national cohesion. Those aren’t small things. Nor is it a small thing that the Iraqi political process is still–despite all the difficulties–working enough to forge this kind of compromise.
