The latest from the Iraqi marshes as reported in the New York Times - tens of thousands of people are living there and they're filling with water, though the water quality is worse than it once was.
A story like this reminds me of my own particular reasons for supporting the Iraq war. The Bushies may be trying to highpedal out of Iraq quicker than you can "national implosion" but the intervention has already made a positive difference for some Iraqis. If only Team Dubya was as committed to the peace as it was committed to the war, then the WMD issue would seem a lot weaker.
