Iraqi Citizens Defend Police Station

     Iraqi civilians in Duluiyah in Salahadin province came to the aid
     of Iraqi police as they were attacked at their checkpoint in the
     city. "In response to the attack, 20 armed men from a nearby
     neighborhood assembled and quickly came to the aid of the policemen
     manning checkpoint," Multinational Forces Iraq stated. "This grass
     roots effort contributed a significant impact in thwarting the
     attack... local citizens also responded according to a plan they
     developed for neighborhood defense."

   Naturally this story will be all over the media. It has everything
   they love: good news from Iraq, lawful citizens using guns in a
   positive (even heroic) way, and another group of Iraqis fighting for a
   decent life who will be in the crosshairs of a bloodbath if we pull
   out.
