Iraqis: life is getting better

[Abcdxxxx]

Well then we can agree on something for once.

I think the disdain for how this war operation is being run overshadows any interest in stories which might negate those issues...and our media likes to focus on the negatives.... nothing new there. People are still claiming the media isn't reporting the true horrors of Iraq, so that's their focus. Hell, MSNBC had live reports from the lame attempt at a Pentagon protest this past weekend. So they're trying, and that's largely because the dissident point of view has been mainstreamed, I think.

Now there's been a recent trend of stories on the thriving areas of Iraq, like the Kurdistan section, and that sort of thing, but they're just seen as poor attempts to get the "5 soldiers killed" headlines off the front pages.
