KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE

Steven Vincent over at In the Red Zone has an excellent analysis of where we are right now in Iraq. We should all keep in mind the stakes, as Thomas Friedman has been pointing out in his columns. We are engaged in a civil war in Iraq between a minority Sunni cadre of thugs and fanatics who are attempting to maintain their reign of terror against the rest of the population.

Remembering the stakes will help us deal with ongoing violence.
