good news from BaghdadMar 12th, 2007 - 01:12:57

Despite the continued carnage, direct contacts with friends and business associates indicate some degree of cautious optimism in Baghdad. Many feel that the appearance of more troops on the streets is assuring. I am told that sectarian and criminal murders are visibly reduced. More shops are open. People are a little bit more daring in leaving their homes. Spectacular bloody attacks by the Qaeda are uniting people rather then dividing them. The Baghdad international conference is viewed as a success despite its limited tangible results. The business community is eager to see the Foreign Investment Law put into effect, opening Iraq's small bourse for example to foreign investors. The come back of Allawi to the political scene with talk of a new non sectarian realignment of parliamentary blocks is viewed as a good sign of maturity in political activities. The list of negatives I am told is also long. For example, the west side of Baghdad has seen little effective cleansing of shadowy Qaeda operatives who continue to terrorize ordinary folks.

Off course it is good news for all anti-Muslim and anti-Shia forces that over a million shiites have been killed, and it is neither HOLOCAST NOR SHIITE GENOCIDE NOR IS IT A WAR CRIME AGAINST BUSH.

The shiites have been disarmed and mde more vulnerable to us ally Al Qaaidah, US will probably leave now to get the shiites killed more mercilessly than by ex-ally Saddam.
