#1 I wish the Iraqis would take this tripe in a positive way - as a challange to be more prductive than our own Congress.

Shouldn't be all that tough.

#5 "a challange to be more prductive than our own Congress."

#7 Finally, something we can all agree on. The major political progress in Iraq has coalesced from the ground up. It is long past time for the Iraqi central government to begin acting like one.
