"No to Baathism and Wahhabism!"
I'm sure there is a dark cloud to this silver lining, but it is hard for me to see. I'd certainly prefer that maniacs not blow up innocents to get 2,000 Iraqis to take to the streets and chant "No to terrorism!" for one, other than that, there seems to be an interesting feedback loop at work in the Middle East.
Lebanese cite 8 million Iraqis defying a death sentence to vote as inspiration to take to the streets in the wake of terror attack in Beirut and perhaps that reaction served as a template for the demonstrations in Hilla.
