Good read. Great article. Let’s get the Neighbohood Watch committee up and running. This is the beginning of a good thing for the Iraqis. Hell, send in the Sunnis from Al-Anbar. All these people need is a leader with some balls and they’ll be as strong as the Sheiks in Al-Anbar are.

I’m glad to see those guys looking more and more like soldiers rather than the poor second cousin. That will help with the locals.
