Irakischer Optimismus

Ein Reporter bereist den Irak und macht eine erstaunliche Entdeckung (für regelmässige Leser dieses Blogs vielleicht nicht ganz so erstaunlich):

Over the past month, I covered Iraq’s stories. Some – like Sadr City’s turmoil, a spike in US military deaths, and Iran’s growing influence – were variations on ones I’d covered since first coming here after the 2003 invasion. Others – a look at one of Baghdad’s new walled neighborhoods, Iraqi impressions of the huge US Embassy about to open here, or questions about the capabilities of Iraq’s half-million-strong security forces – more emblematic of this year.

But in many of these stories, common themes emerged: a tentative sense of better security, relief over an improved economy, and manifestations of the cogs of bureaucracy starting to turn again.

… so zu lesen im CSMonitor (gefunden hier). Wenngleich es mancherlei Sorgen gibt: “the sense of budding progress is broadly based.”

Und vielleicht keimt auch im Westen die Erkenntnis auf, dass der Irak keineswegs ein einziges Desaster ist.
