#1 one big change from early on is that, in late 2003 and early 2004, when this kind of thing happened, a lot of Iraqis would say, "this can't be the work of a moslem" or even "this is the fault of America" or even "this was done by America"

now, everybody knows that these suicide bombers are moslems and most, in fact, are Arabs from outside Iraq

this fact gets little play partly because it has happened incrementally but I think it is very important

The next important step is for the Iraqi parliment or the prime minister to start delivering passionate speeches denouncing their brother arabs and brother moslems. I've been waiting for this for sometime but the current Prime Minister seems very weak. The person who takes a leadership role in this could gain loads and loads of popularity.

#2 It seems that at last all the toing and froing of Hizbollah and others through the tunnels, along with the weapons, into and out of Gaza under the watchful eye of the Egyptians is being using fruitfully in Iraq
