Iraqis Fighting Back

Powerline has an encouraging post on recent incidents of civilian Iraqis striking back at the terrorist insurgents. Here's one:

Citizens of Al Mudiryiah were subjected to an attack by several militants today who were trying to punish the residents of this small town for voting in the election last Sunday. The citizens responded and managed to stop the attack, kill 5 of the attackers, wounded 8 and burned their cars. 3 citizens were injured during the fire exchange. The Shiekh of the tribe to whom the 3 wounded citizens belong demanded more efforts from the government to stop who he described as "Salafis".

Looks like ordinary Iraqis have determined who is the strong horse in this race.
