Go Iraqis!

The story is here and down the page here:

Citizens of Al Mudhiryiah (a small town in the "death triangle") were subjected to an attack by several militants today who were trying to punish the residents of this small town for voting in the election last Sunday.

The citizens responded and managed to stop the attack, kill 5 of the attackers, wounded 8 and burned their cars. 3 citizens were injured during the fire exchange. The Shiekh of the tribe to whom the 3 wounded citizens belong demanded more efforts from the government to stop who he described as "Salafis".

I predict you will see more of this. In the end it is when the people of Iraq have had enough and fight back that the "insurgency" will die down. You can't kill this sort of thing centrally.

Now if only the folks in the inner cities would realize that this might be a good way to deal with their crime problems.
