Coming from anybody else I'd say this is good news.

Well, if any nation can be used as a model of Democracy growing from the barrel of a gun, Germany is the poster child.

Germany, among others, should be ashamed of the hard line that they had taken against the liberation of Iraq.

But spparently shame does not work that way.

Now the only chance Germany and others shall have to recoup all the losses they suffered with the fall of Saddam is to embrace the new order that has gained ascendency in Iraq.

Definitely some good news there, its a pleasure to see that there are those who have a grasp on what is unfolding in Iraq. Too bad some of our own politicians and media (we all know who they are) don't have that same grasp.

As far as the stuff with the Sunnis, it's up to them to take the high road and decide to work within the new democratic government of Iraq. Or they can choose the low road and become the Democratic party of Iraq.

I'm glad Fischer is happy with this, because it happened against his best effort and the Iraqis owe him and his government not one bit of thanks for it.
