I heard this word today on the news and actually want no part of it. But the rest of the report was interesting in that it said that Iraqis are investing in real estate (as opposed to gold), and that refugees are returning, overall, in droves, which hardly seem like actions sane people would take if they felt their country was teetering on the edge of chaos. The elections are a brave step forward by the Iraqi people, and if they don’t demonstrably indicate that the U.S. led coalition has won the portion of the war fought on that front, then I’m not sure what more it will take to do so.
