On NRO, Victor Davis Hanson has a typically great essay on Iraq, Europe and American politics, "The Event of the Age". Excerpt:
Yet here we stand, a little more than six months later, with a country that was the worst in the Middle East evolving into the best. We are witnessing nothing less than the revolutionary and great moral event of the age, and when it comes to pass, a reborn democratic Iraq will overturn almost all the conventional wisdom, here and abroad, about the Middle East, the nature and purpose of war in our age, the moral differences between Europe and America — and the place in history of George W. Bush.
Recommended reading.

What he writes here is precisely what I believe, and hope, and have been trying to explain to my friends.
