#1 ...and there is no waiting for the insurance adjuster first. They are doing this on their own ticket. The biggest metric will be when the skyline of all the major towns and cities are peppered with tower cranes.

#2 One can only hope thatas Iraqis invest in their futurethey begin to obtain a stronger sense of how very little their fellow Islamic terrorists want for them. Only when they discover how everything, everything that they are striving for is cheerfully put at risk by al Qaeda and their lot will Iraq's citizens finally understand the price of tolerating such vermin.

"New Glass"? Wonderful. I can only hope that "New Life" takes root as well. So far, much too much of Iraq has centered upon death and destruction, be it the West's, the Sunnis', the Christians' or whichever poor unlucky bastard of the moment happens to slip into the crosshairs of typical Muslim mayhem. If there is one thing Americans have gifted the Iraqis with, it is that they now have something to lose.

Whether or not they possess the wisdom to treasure their newfound prosperity remains to be seen. Gauged by the outside Muslim world's response to progress and increasing quality of life, the prospects are grim at best.

I agree, Zenster. Problem is the outside muslim world considers "progress" and "increasing quality of life" to be the abolition of secular life, more Bourkas, and more slaves to the Sharia. They are all for "progress", but their definition is insane.
