Democracy! Whiskey! Sexy!

Freedom returns to Basra.

"Two months after the Iraqi government ordered its fledgling military to root out the religious militias here in Iraq's third-largest city, Basra is beginning to awaken from a four-year dormancy. A recent week-long visit that included several dozen interviews revealed that many of the city's nearly 3 million residents are resuming lives that had been interrupted by an austere interpretation of Islam."

No wonder Barack Obama doesn't want to visit Iraq. He doesn't want to learn anything that conflicts with he unconditional surrender plans.
