Is this a good sign?...

Per the L.A. Times, Iraqi Council Flexes Muscles: The U.S.-appointed body is increasingly defying the coalition and pushing its own vision of a free and self-governing Iraq. Described as no longer a passive instrument of U.S. civilian administrator Paul Bremer, the council is now found to be stating its opinion and demanding more responsibility in the re-building of Iraq. This is good. Annoying as it may be, whenever you train up a child into adulthood, there have to be times when that child takes on more responsibilities... all the better when the child requests / demands them. Yet, expect mistakes.
