#1 "violence against Iraqi civilians dropped nearly 20% in April with 1,506 civilians killed, down from 1,861 in March."

Of course, this will be widely reported in the MSM right?

As an aside, Iraq has 750 murders a month just from your garden variety disputes, so the terrorists have really dropped off lately.

#2 Since doing the ISO 9001 thing is what keeps food on my table and Mrs. Ret living in the style she determined is best for her, I can tell you that having that hanging on the wall is a good thing, but I think that it might be more beneficial to getting the country stabilized so that there is a better chance of workers coming to work and not getting killed (or worse).

#3 New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced his countrys plan to donate $1 million to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to feed, house and protect Iraqi refugees.

Which means about $80K will actually make it down the pipe to "help refugees". There is nothing more corrupt than the UNHCR bunch - just look at the paleostain hell-hole camps still active after 60 years of UNHCR help.
