And Now Some Good News

Via The Times Online (UK):

Despite all of the violence, despite what most of the American and European press may say, despite the politicians who are now in hot water – most Iraqis themselves say life is better now than it was under Saddam. And are they not the ones who are best able to judge?

“MOST Iraqis believe life is better for them now than it was under Saddam Hussein, according to a British opinion poll published today.

The survey of more than 5,000 Iraqis found the majority optimistic despite their suffering in sectarian violence since the American-led invasion four years ago this week.”

But – but – but - isn't there is civil war going on there? Not according to most Iraqis, you know, the people who actually live there.

“Only 27% think there is a civil war in Iraq, compared with 61% who do not, according to the survey carried out last month.”

It is uplifting to read good news once in a while.
