Some in the blogosphere and on the radio have been promoting VI day, or Victory in Iraq day, this Saturday, November 22.  The point is to celebrate how far we have come in the war in Iraq and how our tenacity will give the Iraqis a bright future.  And we also need to celebrate the troops who are the biggest reason we are able to celebrate where we are, the leaders who put in place the plan that changed the direction, and our Commander in Chief who might have made some poor decisions initially, but with his decision (against the advice of many of his own advisors) to implement the surge and turn it all around.
