The real news from Iraq

The Times says that "entropy and obstinacy" have "severed links" between party leaders and their constituents and that the Iraqi government has become "increasingly irrelevant" in many parts of the country. The Times says Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told an American commander earlier this week that there are just "two mentalities" at work in the region: "conspiracy and mistrust." And Dempsey says he has been hearing this from Iraqi civilians: "You know, we were a lot more secure and safe during the Saddam regime."
