Falluja Agreement
The U.S. and Falluja leaders have announced an agreement which includes joint policing by coalition and Iraqi forces and disarmament by the insurgents. Details will emerge later in the day. This sounds like it could resolve some of the immediate issues in the Sunni triangle if it persuades Sunnis that they will still play a role in their own affairs. Conservatives may cry appeasement, but keep in mind that before all this started, the U.S. had been forced to withdraw from Falluja altogether. This is not the complete victory many demanded, but it has the potential to become the best kind of victory - one for both sides. The main thing I'm wondering is where the Iraqis in these patrols will come from.
