"A Republic, If You Can Keep It."
Iraq is now a constitutional republic.
And Riverbend's sense of things is that Zarqawi's efforts to foment civil war between Sunni and Shia Muslims in Iraq is failing.
From her 3 March entry:
Before Ashoura, there was a lot of talk about civil war. We talk about it like it concerns a different set of people, in another country. I guess that is because none of us can believe that anyone we know could be capable of senseless violence. After this massacre, and after seeing the reactions of Sunnis and Shi'a alike, my faith in the sense and strength of Iraqis has been reaffirmed. It has been like a large family- with many serious differences- reuniting after a terrible tragedy to comfort eachother and support one another.
