Americans aren't the only ones optimistic about Iraq. Sunnis, Shias and Kurds in Iraq are increasingly so about both the security situation and life in general (Okay, increasingly being the key word!).
Richard Perle's piece in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph is worth a gander as well:
"For a government fighting an unpopular war, five years is an eternity. In the sight of history, it's just a blink, far too short for considered judgment or a balanced accounting. But judges and accountants won't wait, so the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq has renewed the debate about that action and its consequences - a debate dominated by the terrible costs, with almost no assessment of the benefits."
