Good News From Iraq

Arthur Chrenkoff’s roundup of unreported (or at least under-reported) good news from Iraq is posted at his blog. I love this quote from the report:

“You can’t fix in six months what it took 35 years to destroy.” These words, spoken by Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Iraq’s first democratically elected Prime Minister in half a century, should be inscribed in three-foot tall characters as a preface to all the reporting from Iraq. Sadly, the underlying reality all too often seems to escape many reporters caught in the excitement of “now”.
