Is it really, the corruption is worse than before, most of the country is still divided into ethnic and religious enclaves. There are still quite a lot of politically and sectarian motivated assassinations and killings. The recent kidnapping and execution of the Chaldean Christian Archbishop is a case in point. How much electricity does Bagdad get on a daily basis, less than 5 years ago btw. Oil exports haven't even reached pre invasion levels yet. Hell if this is good and successfull process, please don't give us a demonstration of poor progress, I don't think the US can afford another war. As for the rest of your statements, why not just cut and paste from the latest shrubbery propaganda, at least the writing is marginally better and it would be less work for you, you wouldn't even have to fake thinking for yourself. > >Iraq has disappeared from the news largely because "the story" there has >turned positive and the media don't want to cover it.
