We've Won


As Ed Morrissey says on the Hot Air blog this morning, "This is what victory looks like."

Iraqis are voting today in the first provincial elections of the post-Saddam era. Unlike the last two national elections, the minority Sunni community has finally embraced the polls as the best way to promote their interests.

Security has been tight and few mortars have been fired, but all-in-all the vote is going well and the Iraqis seem happy.

This would never have happened if Obama had his way two years ago. The world owes George W. Bush a ton of gratitude, maybe in a few years he'll get it.
