Michael Yon’s latest dispatch covers the first Catholic mass to be said at St. John’s Church in Baghdad in a very long time. His photos speak eloquently by themselves. Yon, who has covered the war from the ground at so many different stages, also says this:

The nightmare is ending. Al Qaeda is being crushed. The Sunni tribes are awakening all across Iraq and foreswearing violence for negotiation. Many of the Shia are ready to stop the fighting that undermines their ability to forge and manage a new government. This is a complex and still delicate denouement, and the war may not be over yet. But the Muslims are saying it’s time to come home. And the Christians are saying it’s time to come home.
