surge 2
so did the surge work? well, life is definitely different in iraq. there are many well publicized metrics which have improved. though the description of life there sounds an awful lot like living in a jewish residential district in 1938-ish poland. ie walls, travel restrictions, fear, death. except it's the entire frikken country partitioned into ghettos. 'course it's not that bad. there's no overcrowding. ghost town is more apt. and the u.s. is pumping dollars into the economy by the literal truckload. so yeah the surge worked. you should move there.
