This is a nice video on the front page of CNN right now. I think you will enjoy it. A rare video showing how much things are better and how peaceful some places are.

if it doesn't work, goto cnn.com and in the video selection thing, look for a video called Optimism in Iraq

Hmmmmmm. They've learned from the Clintons. Stage unpopular media dumps on Friday nights when nobody is watching. By Monday, it will be old news. By "unpopular", I mean as received by the typical CNN lefty who is cheering for failure in Iraq.

The video Pain and Heartbreak in Iraq is also really sad.

I'm surprised CNN is covering this too. They normally only cover the bad news. I guess there isn't enough of that right now, so they have no choice but to report something positive.

It's a Christmas miracle -- the MSM has been given the gift of sight!

"They normally only cover the bad news. I guess there isn't enough of that right now, so they have no choice but to report something positive."

That's a very good explanation. Or maybe they saw numbers and that viewers liked the Fox segment. I dunno.
