Burning Ones

This article over there at the BBC is pretty encouraging.  I did think it was a mistake by the US and the Iraqis when the Baathists were removed from power and immediately repressed.  It just followed the old Stages of Revolution where the Moderates seize power, then the extremists take over and become worse than the former oppressors, and then the extremely repressed people rise up and throw down the new repressors.  Without a break in this cycle, revolution and war are endless.  So, it’s good to see them attempting offer some sort of an olive branch.
