Us Diplomat Sees progress in Iraq

The top U.S. diplomat in Iraq said Thursday that Baghdad is making some political progress but faces considerable difficulty in the months to come to try to heal a nation long gripped by violence. "If there is one word, I would use to sum up the atmosphere in Iraq — on the streets, in the countryside, in the neighborhoods and at the national level — that word would be fear," Ryan Crocker told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Well that is good to hear that some progress is actually taking place in iraq, and it is our duty that Iraq fininshes healing. Then we will have sucessfully completed our duty of removing terrorism and despotism form the middle east.
