Following Glenn Reynolds' link, I was first a little sad to read how much news is shut out of nearly every radio, television and print report on Iraq — most stories little more than body counts. But then I realized that despite the challenges of the "second campaign," Iraq is ascending: and if enough Americans believe in the president and refuse to elect the Massachusetts senator whose adherance to universal democracy is unconvincing, Iraq will only get better.

AND: Omar has some more good news you might not otherwise hear about.
