Iraq Tensions Controlable I find the news coming out of Iraq much more promising since Wednesday. The violence from reprisals has not grown. Instead they have slowed down, showing the situation will become much less of an issue with each passing day, and the country is not headed to civil war. The Iraqi government has shown wisdom by being able to quickly and decisevely control the violence. I find it promising that if the country can get through this, they will get through everything else that is less critical.  ¶ 6:23 PM
