Last week I heard that 70% of the Brits approved of the war. Was this
in error? I think that was Iraqis. NPR mentioned today that the Iraqi people have imported over half a million new cars since the war's end -- the highest amount ever -- and they now face a gasoline shortage for the first time. And oil exports have now rebounded to a higher level than before the war, bringing over $1 billion per month into the Iraqi treasury. . Their economy is booming. Of course, NPR mentioned this only in passing, with great reluctance. It was almost like they were apologizing to their listeners for reporting something good from Iraq. (They, of course, ended with reports of more sabotage in the oil fields, just to placate the faithful...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
