that the Iraqis didn't cut and run is a good sign they are changing.

I do not think it's changing
Just a kind of natural selection
In each fight you have some that run and some who slug it out
The latter are those that remain in the Army/ Police

Correct. Iraq's outcome will be determined by the Iraqi's themselves. If they feel their new found freedom's and liberties are worth fighting and dying for, they will succeed in defeating the terrorists among them.
I am optimistic they will fight, especially after seeing their countries sovereignty restored. Freedom is intoxicating, it is hard to give up after tasting it. The enemies of freedom know this all to well - they will attempt any means necessary to prevent its introduction.
June 30th is a huge date - it will initiate a process leading up to free elections. This period will be critical in defining whether Iraq is a success or a failure.
