So ... on the fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq people are protesting on the streets of Baghdad! Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, they are protesting against the "occupation" of their country by foreign troops, so it could be considered a win-win for both the U.S. and Iraq. As one general on the ground in Iraq put it, four years ago, the Iraqi people would not have had the opportunity to protest, especially under Saddam. Now they can. If that's not progress, the general said in the Associate Press story, he didn't know what was.

So what do you think? Is the protest another strike against the Bush administration, or it is a sign of progress in the war in Iraq?
