Missed Him By That Much

Max Boot was a few miles from Sunday's mass murder in Baghdad. He has not panicked:

Attacks are still down to their lowest level since 2003-2004. Life has returned to a semblance of normality in Baghdad and other areas. A few high-profile attacks — this one or the one in August — do not change the fundamental, day-to-day reality of life getting better.
