Chrenkoff: Good News Round-up From Iraq
2005-01-18
The Case for Boredom
A roundup of the past two weeks' good news from Iraq
Also available at http://chrenkoff.blogspot.com/. Just keep scrolling.

A brief summary: Things continue to improve in Iraq, despite the violence reported by the news media. The Iraqis are taking on more responsibility for their own security, and the population continues to turn against -- and turn in -- the anti-democracy forces. And it sounds like the election will be a resounding success, with voter and politician enthusiasm like that seen in Afghanistan.

Construction/reconstruction is booming, both local efforts and those sponsored by the Coalition. Infrastructure and education continue to benefit from international support and donations. Unemployment is down slightly, despite continuing flows of returning refugees. And so on... Go and read the whole thing :-)
