not over yet
Today, assassins killed the governor of the Iraqi provice of Nineveh, Osama Youssef Kashmoula.
The country is still not stable, and likely will not be so until well after elections are held and most of the US troops have gone home. Even then, there will still be lots of troops from other nations: Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has asked Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Morocco, and Egypt to send troops to help out.
This is a good move on the Iraqi PM's part. Getting India and Pakistan to work together to fight the common enemy (terrorist factions) will have enormous benefits in stabilizing those two nations relations with each other, and in presenting a united front against terrorism across the middle east and Indian subcontinent. Also note he asked Morocco and Egypt for troops - but not Lybia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Yemen, or Kuwait. Nor Canada for that matter.
