Have you noticed it? All of a sudden there's a lull in the action. The top issues at the moment incude:
What happened to all the noisy criticism of this administration's policies?
The answer: the Iraqi referendum took place and appears to have passed the constitution. All the claims that Muslims couldn't accept Democracy, and that the constitution would never be able to pass given the different political and religious groups in Iraq, were disproven. The claims that the war in Iraq was not going to accomplish anything useful were disproven.
Everyone can see that the successful introduction of democracy to the Mid-East is an event of historic, global importance.
Everyone can see that the Iraqi constitution requires freedom of religion, meaning that Islam in Iraq is reforming and leaving behind the parts of the Koran that tell Muslims to kill those of other religions, or to make them second-class citizens.
It's an achievement of historic importance that makes the world safer for the U.S. -- as well as for many other nations.
