My opinion is drawn from personal daily contact with friends (trrops) on the ground in Iraq and returning from Iraq. Google the new iraq or something like that. Iraq has several sites up now showing all the progress made. Frankly, the pictures on their sites look like a great place to vacation...especially the entire northern half of Iraq.

Thanks. I have googled on Iraq with the keywords "death toll", but haven't yet found support for the idea that most of Iraq is more peaceful than the average US city.

Good start, now google America’s number of violent crimes during the same period, including it’s “death toll”.

Then you can be accused of honest fair handed debate.
