I fail to see how the situation is better now in Iraq.
Why would you need to script such an event? If the common people were really happy then they would just celebrate on the streets. I'd be celebrating Hitlers death if I lived during WWll to give an example. My grandparents were celebrating the day that war ended even though there was still a lot of confusion back then if Hitler was really dead or not(partly because of Stalin)

Iraq is still being plagued by terrorist attacks.

The situation is better in Iraq now because the people are in control... there are still terrorists attacks, and that doesn't really prove anything.
There also much less dangerous and as time goes on and they government starts controling itself and the US pulls out, it will eventually mostly fade away.
I mean it states as much in that article. They need more time to build their intellegence agencies.
Really the main problem with the entire iraq war was that Bush disbanded the entire old army. Had they kept the "soft" baathists around and made sure that non baathists were in charge and they got a lot of nonbaathists in. They wouldn't of had nearly the trouble they did.
Additionally, you actually don't know if those people weren't dancing in the streets earlier, before they staged the bringing down of the statue. Since this took place much after they moved in to the city.
