Yet for television. if it bleeds. it leads. That is the only stuff we hear about. We are told of massacres and chaos. but we arent told that millions of Iraqis who fled to other countries as refugees by the millions in past years under Saddam Hussein are returning. 1.2 million refugees have returned to their homes. We rarely see positive stories about seminaries which. under Saddam. held only a few dozen students and now have 15.000 pupils from 40 different countries. We dont read about the increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar. the record number of media outlets. the tremendous growth in small businesses forming the economic foundation for Iraq. and the revival of Iraqi agriculture.
