There seems to be agreement that
1) violence in Baghdad is down
2) this has not led to political reconciliation
How 'bout other signs of progress due to reduced violence?
I've seen nothing recently about infrastructure repair & restoration - Does Baghdad have more electricity now than a year ago?
How 'bout the road to the airport - once upon a time that was all the news: very dangerous! Has that improved? Can the casual tourist (?) catch a taxi from airport to central Bagdhad without worrying about being shot or kidnapped?
How 'bout oil production? Up? Down? Unchanged?... from a year ago.
These and similar markers of progress seem like they'd be easy enough to measure - why is no one reporting anything along these lines?
