Ahmad Chalabi, the much-maligned, scapegoated Iraqi politician, has been named Iraq's new deputy prime minister and oil minister. The man has survived multiple assassination attempts (several bodyguards have been killed), sabotage attempts, bank fraud charges, spying charges, whisper campaigns, espionage, and military raids on his home and office. This is really an astonishing development, and shows why you should never give up on your dreams.
It's great news for Iraq.
And Jean Charest, take heart!
