For some time, Iraq has not been a center of attention because it has been the same old, same old. Any idea that things were improving were balanced by the inability of the Iraqi government to come to terms with their ethnic differences.
Today, we are seeing the beginning of the "Iraq of the future". In Basra, the Iraqi militia were fighting the Sadr militia. Considering that the Iraqi militia were trained and armed by the US forces, this new development could represent the outcome of our attempt to develop an Iraqi military and police that could take our place when we leave.
Michael Ware, a CNN reporter who spends tons of time in Iraq, has a description of this new development as "Lebanon on steroids".
