Iraq's constitutional vote signals its movement in that direction

Security for Saturday's election fell to Iraqi, not American, forces, a significant change. Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute notes some other positive signs: While as many as one in six Iraqis fled their nation under Saddam, now hundreds of thousands have returned; real-estate values are skyrocketing; major construction is up; the value of the dinar, Iraq's currency, is steady; investment is rising.

All of these signs point to a growing confidence by Iraqis that their nation has a future and that its wealth will grow and spread. That's good news worth heralding.
