Thank you Allegra.
Are you still in Iraq?
Yes. And it barely resembles the place I first arrived in early 2004 and the years that followed.
It is much more peaceful now and the streets, markets and parks are bustling with activity. The rebuild is now in full swing.
For the first time in decades, Iraqis are not living in fear.
May God continue to bless the U.S. and coalition forces.
