Is the War Over?

A question posed by Commentary magazine.

Sure, shit might flare up again in Iraq...but one might be able to declare the original insurgency (as a mix of former Baathists trying to reinstate a Sunni-run state mixed with foreign fighters trying to vying for a sectarian civil war and Islamicist state) over.

The hot war against Saddam and his sons ended the day they were killed and captured, respectively.

The aftermath - the insurgency - which has flared for four years - seems to me on the brink of being over. You would think this constitutes big news.
