HOPE EXISTS
Today was a really great day where I got some hope back about the future.
There are a lot of problems and issues but I attended a sort of open discussion today with Iraqi PM, defense Minister, Oil Minister and Minister of State of Foreign Affairs present.
I don't want to divulge to much information apart from the fact, he has a presence and he is a great man though I am secular and he is not, though he is a Shiite and I am not I believe that he is the right man for the job if people don't interfere in his way.
Security, basic services and administrative corruption are the main issues that need to be dealt with according to Al - malice, some interesting stories though.
Shahrastani blamed the oil problems on the way that Iraqi distribution companies were stealing and said he will this week bring in whole new management to take over.
I will tell you one thing, never will there be an open Q and A by any four ministers at the same time the way it was done today.
This is democracy, people took the microphone and complained and whined, people thanked, people cried but people spoke their mind face to face and to be quite honest I wish I was not so tired cause I have so much to say about this... Watch this space...

Thanks for that info. With all of the bad news, it's nice to see a ray of hope.
I served for 12 months in Iraq. I have great optimism for Iraq as well. Thank you for a refreshing post.
