Michael J. Totten’s Middle East Journal has some great pics of the Kurds bringing some real humanity to a part of Iraq that Saddam Hussien tried desperately to destroy. Just outside of Erbil, Iraq, they are building their “Dream City”.
And the Dream City is only one massive construction site among hundreds. Reconstruction in Iraqi Kurdistan is absolutely explosive. These photos are only a miniscule sample of what’s going up right now as you read this.
It goes without saying that none of this was possible when Saddam Hussein did everything he could, with the fourth largest army in the world, to destroy these people. Even though Kurdistan has been free of Saddam since the Kurdish uprising drove out him and the Baath in 1991, real reconstruction wasn’t possible until 2003. When the embargo was lifted, and when everyone knew that the bastard could never come back, the Kurds finally had the nerve to build their dream country in earnest.
Totten is over there. This is news you will never see from the MSM. Just another example of the good that our ousting of the Hussein regime has done for the Iraqis. (db)
