#1 FYI, there is now an Iraqi restaurant in the Knightsbridge section of London where a lot of Arabs congregate in the summer. We ate there last week. Its called Magrouf and the lamb is very good. We expected it to be filled mostly with Arabs, like all the Lebanese restaurants are, but it was mostly brits and americans. Lots of chatter about the war and it was all positive. Got the feeling that the American's were tipping their toe in the water of embracing a new culture we have some interest in. Maybe even future tourism to Iraq. Sorry, getting way ahead of myself.

#4 I hope one of these successful Iraqi generals will run for public office on a nationalist, securalist anti corruption, anti Persian, anti Islamism platform.

#5 mhw, Anti-Islam would be a stretch but other than that I'm good with it. Especially if it were an election and not a coup.
