There are many wonderful that are happening in Iraq that have been overlooked by the media, including this paper. There are currently 40,000 police on patrol in Iraq, 7,000 in Baghdad alone. There are 400 functioning courts. All of the 22 universities, and 43 technical schools and colleges are open, as well as almost all primary and secondary schools.

Our military and humanitarian aid should be mentioned for the people of the United States to fully appreciate what we are helping the Iraqi people to achieve.
