| Sadly, I am not privy to the details of the ethnic composition of various neighborhoods in Baghdad, nor am I skilled at tracking down references to words a few random yammerheads spoke on some news-talk shows. Any chance you could share your sources on the details of Baghdad's neighborhoods?
I like how I stated that I'd heard reports, rather than trying to claim that I spoke the immutable truth.
As for unlikely and irrational: it seems to me to be one of two possibilities: either the surge worked, or keeping the peace got a lot easier, because not so many people still felt like they had something to fight about.
Perhaps I can give a decent source in a few hours. Perhaps not.
