- Go to Remember when Sadr City represented everything that was wrong in Iraq?
Quite right, and thank you!
You're absolutely correct. Blood sells, says the news industry addage, and if the news media wants to portray the war as a failure they will absoutely not report any good news at all.
If you want to learn more about the many successes in rebuilding Iraw, here's just one link: http://search.atomz.com/search/?selectWorkCenters=Work+Centers&selectOurSites=Our+Sites&sp-q=iraq&sp-a=sp100250b7&sp-p=any&sp-f=ISO-8859-1&sp-k=ENR

One suspects that the examples that you quote are by no means all the improvements in the lives of ordinary Iraqis that have taken place.
But there, to the media, good news isn't life, it's death, and they only feed us death, doom and disaster.
A very good and well balanced post. Thank you for spreading a little cheer for us.
