Well...I saw an hour long report a week or so ago that basically...took one on a tour around Baghdad. There was traffic on the streets...many expensive cars...the outdoor shops were overloaded with food...of all types...the stores were open...and many of them had quality jewerly...quality western apparrel...appliances etc...and the reporter stopped in a Juice cafe and had a Juice prepared and the Juice cafe seemed to be doing a good business. All of the Iraqi's in the shops and on the streets were openly friendly...all were well dressed and appeared to be quite well fed. The only concern they expressed to the reporter was the criminal element that was on the loose and many of them either stayed the night or had someone stay the night in their businesses to guard against the criminal element. The damage around Baghdad was minimal in the sense that the majority of buildings...stores...etc. were in tact. Bottom line Baghdad appeared to be alive...and thriving.
