What a weekend: A great movie and a free Iraq! Who could ask for anything more?

I can. I ask that the interim government not declare martial law. I ask that all killing stop.

A declaration of martial law will only galvanize the fractured resistance into an unstoppable force which will feed itself until the state follows. Look at Palestine. We will be creating a new perpetual bombing zone.

Likely, martial law will be declared and the insurgents could not care less whether the transfer happened last Christmas or next Halloween. They did not seem deterred today.
