The Gangs of Iraq are killing each other off. What it has come down to is the gangs, militias and organizations that have been making a living planting roadside bombs and carrying out contract hits on American and Iraqi troops for the last three years, are being defeated by tribal and community groups fed up with the constant violence. ...
Religious leaders, who often took fees for allowing their mosques to be used as armories and safe houses, also preached against the heretical Shia, who now ruled the country. Now the pro-peace Sunni Arab clergy have displaced the pro-violence imams, and established their own "Council of Religious Scholars" to prove it.
Generally unnoticed over the last two years was a growing revolt within the Sunni Arab community. The Sunni Arab nationalists, the guys who supported Saddam and what he represented, did not have the backing of all Sunni Arabs. Neither did Saddam. And after Saddam fell, the fighting between Sunni Arabs began. Many Sunni Arabs greeted the Americans, and the prospect of democracy, with enthusiasm. ...
The tipping point occurred this year, as the anti-terrorist Sunni Arabs became numerous enough to defeat the terrorist groups.
Lots of Iraqis already in America, and they tell the folks back in the old country that there have been no Islamic terrorist bombs going off in America since September 11, 2001.
It's safe in America, and it's getting safer in Iraq.

Good. Let them have at it. Maybe they'll be so busy fighting each other, they'll leave everyone else alone.
More Iraqis, especially the kids, come out to practice their English.
Great news. Can we get the gangs here at home to do the same?

Have you been reading the news out of just about every large city in the US? It's certainly happening in many of them.
Actually, they are. Just not in sufficient numbers and to the level of efficiency we would like to see.
Thanks for the ping, george76.
