An Iraqi Sahwa member (Sunni Awakening Council militia members who played a key role in the "Surge") stands guard at the entrance to the thriving central market place in the Amil neighborhood in Southwest Baghdad August 23, 2010. Through an increase in Iraqi security force checkpoints, local Sahwa guards and gated communities, Iraqis have enjoyed a vast improvement in terms of security over the past two years in areas like Amil, which previously had been sectarian battlefields with Iraqis forced to remain inside their homes for protection. .
