Iraq is providing, in my view, a very welcome substitute for the Russian Bear, a point of reference how we can define us (the "Western" world) as clean and good rather than dirty and evil. russia has failed to live up to the expectations of perpetual evil, and failed to refrain from democratisation, so we have Iraq instead....
