Charles Krauthammer has an excellent article (as usual) about recent events in Iraq here. (HT:RobinsonandLong). As he points out, in a little over two years, Iraq has been transformed from a country in a state of chaos and incipient civil war to an ally with a democratically elected parliamentary government. This week, that government ratified military and strategic-cooperation agreements with the United States. This is a remarkable turnaround and a huge setback for Iran. Iraq may yet become the Middle East's version of a shining city on the hill.
Now, to paraphrase Charlie Wilson (of "Charlie Wilson's War"), we need to make sure that we don't screw up the endgame.
