Good Morning, Iraq.

[Proletariat]

From a few days ago.

Chrenkoff, with more of the latest good news.

"You can't fix in six months what it took 35 years to destroy." These words, spoken by Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Iraq's first democratically elected Prime Minister in half a century, should be inscribed in 3-foot-tall characters as a preface to all the reporting from Iraq. Sadly, the underlying reality all too often seems to escape many reporters caught in the excitement of "now."

(Sorry to upset you, Galloway fan boys. Some people think Iraq is better off without Saddam.)
