Kind of scary how much control the media has over some people's belief systems. Thanks for posting this CJ. I posted an article about this as well over at ASM.

I couldn't believe that the Times was reporting that. Maybe there is hope for the world Ha! I hear that all the time on tv that there's a civil war in Iraq, matter of fact I've heard it for a long time now. Some people continue to believe that. Thanks CJ for the articles.

I don't find any of the "unexpected" results actually unexpected. Nation building is long and difficult especially in building a Democratic-Islamic nation. If you think about it, the Kurdish areas that are doing so well have been in nation building since the last Iraq war. All I have to say to the Times article is…no duh!

That's not the case in Iraq, since there are more people trying to build a bridge between the Shiite, Sunni, and the Kurdish. Really, that just goes to show you that peace can exist in a warzone and conflict can exist within a peaceful nation. You don't have to have a war for a nation to have crime and civil conflict. Having a war is no reason to think that the rate of crime and civil conflict is higher either! I read about this in the Times. Great find CJ, thank you.
