As much as the administration likes to talk about the “free and democratic” Iraq, you see stories like this and really know how bogus that claim is:

Iraq’s prime minister imposed a daytime driving ban in Baghdad and in the province where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed by American bombs, fearing insurgents will seek to avenge the death of the al-Qaida in Iraq leader.

As Iraqi and U.S. leaders cautioned that al-Zarqawi’s death was not likely to end the bloodshed in Iraq, an American general said another foreign-born militant was already poised to take over the terror network’s operations.

Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said Egyptian-born Abu al-Masri would likely take the reins of al-Qaida in Iraq. He said al-Masri trained in Afghanistan and arrived in Iraq in 2002 to establish an al-Qaida cell.

Why don’t they just declare full marital law and a 24/7 curfew in the country? That would make it easy to find the law breakers. With actions like these it is no wonder that more and more people are joining the insurgency.
