>From an exasperated Wall Street Journal editorial today:

"Sunni Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani also crossed the line of acceptable behavior when he said that an Iraqi who kills an American soldier should 'have a statue built for him.' Iraq is a democracy now, and Mr. Mashhadani is free to speak his mind. But he can also be told that such rhetoric will lead to the loss of his Green Zone residence and the squad of American soldiers that protects him."
