All through the worst moments of the insurgency — the real horrors in Fallujah, not the second-hand Nissan set alight on the edge of the Green Zone so the herd of foreign correspondents can film it from their hotel balconies — all through that darkest period, a few of us insisted that between two thirds and three quarters of Iraq was up and running smoothly with functioning government institutions and nascent political parties. And we were right
Wow. Steyn is an entertaining writer but I don't know about labelling the insurgency nothing more than a "second hand Nissan set alight". I'm not so sure about the whole "running smoothly" part either. That's a pretty rosy picture. Maybe he's trying to dump his time-share in Najaf?

I am sorry but the quote you provided makes your response to it is simply idiotic.

What part of this do you NOT IN FALLUJAH understand?

Idiotic?
So you agree with him. Outside of Fallujah, the insurgency is nothing more than a burning car?
I disagree.
