This is an interesting and very democratic solution to Shrub's War:
While most observers are focused on the U.S. Congress as it continues to issue new rubber stamps to legitimize Bush's permanent designs on Iraq, nationalists in the Iraqi parliament -- now representing a majority of the body -- continue to make progress toward bringing an end to their country's occupation.
The parliament today passed a binding resolution that will guarantee lawmakers an opportunity to block the extension of the U.N. mandate under which coalition troops now remain in Iraq when it comes up for renewal in December.

Unfortunately the U.S. military will be there (at least) until bush is gone- that is to say IF His Imperial Majesty decides to vacate the White House.
Although the Iraqi Parliament is to be commended, the United Nations didn't stop him from waging an illegal war.
I'll take any step, no matter how small, as long as it is in the right direction.
