"and economic life stirs," Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh, who oversees the service sector of the government, said to me." He then says: "The Shiites have prevailed in the war for Baghdad." Prevailed? You call the ethnic cleansing of Sunnis "prevail"? And then chief of democracy promotion tells you this: "Ignore the pollsters who tell you that Iraqis have had their fill of the American presence." And Ajami remembers to share his good news about Iraq: he tells you that a mere "1,654 [Iraqi] civilians were killed" in September. If that is not a reason for celebration for Fouad Ajami, nothing is.
