Taking a Rough with a Smooth
It's wonderful that the Iraqis are able to stage protests now. It's great that they have the religious freedom to conduct the pilgrimage to Karbala. None of that makes the fact that they are also now protesting the U.S. presence something we aren't going to have to deal with. Soon.

Yep. Yahoo today carried a photo of some of the faithful wearing signs saying "Bush=Saddam" and "Yes Yes Islamic Government" - too damn stupid to realize it's because of us that they even get to celebrate their religion openly. We had better nip this problem quickly.
Or, better yet, enable the Iraqis to nip it so they can prosper without going backwards.

Option 2 sounds good to me.
