Iraqis and Americans agree on something: Pulling out of Iraq's cities is a good thing. The Iraqi government is recognizing the event with a new national holiday called National Sovereignty Day. Iraqi's celebrated by staying at home. The run-up to the holiday has been messy, with more than 200 people killed in terrorist attacks in June. Despite the spasms of violence, many Iraqis remain optimistic about the handoff. As the new Iraqi democracy matures, we'll see if the new holiday remains as Iraqi as oil, sand and U.S. turnovers.
