Two Interesting Stories from Iraq

Of course, we know that the MSM has an amazing "blindspot" for good news coming out of Iraq -- where, God knows, there is also plenty of bad news.

Here are two VERY interesting -- and I think -- uplifting stories from Iraq TODAY:

First, the Kurds are enjoying a degree of autonomy, freedom, and prosperity that makes our toppling of Saddam Hussein under President Bush a success. (Let's hope the eventual permanent Government in Iraq allows this positive development to continue.)
Believe it or not, the source for this positive news comes from the pro-jihadist BBC.

Second, this past weekend, Sunni tribesman in the town of Ramadi actually fought (and, in some cases, died) defending their SHI'ITE neighbors from an attempted forcible eviction by the followers of Jordanian Sunni Wahabbist madman, Abu Musab Zarqawi. (Hat tip: lgf.)

This is an amazing development: Perhaps a sign that the Iraqis are growing tired of the intervention in their affairs by foreign terrorist fighters.
