It may sound unreal, given the daily images of carnage and chaos....

No, it's the image you are painting, you media morons, that is unreal.

The economy exposes the truth.

Iraq is a crippled nation growing on the financial equivalent of steroids, with money pouring in from abroad.

Reading between the lines will reveal the "catch" to this story.

Iraq's "strong economy" is the equivalent of an urban sh!t-hole in the U.S. where unemployment is low and per-capita GDP is astronomical due to heavy police activity, heavy demand for prison guards, excessive demand for energy to power the electric chair, robust construction and building materials sectors as vandalism requires endless reconstruction/repair of buildings, etc.
