A Good Day In Iraq

How good do things have to be for the news media to print this headline?

Iraq sees dramatically low death toll

BAGHDAD - The civilian death toll in Iraq fell to its lowest level in recent memory Saturday, with only four people killed or found dead nationwide, according to reports from police, morgue officials and credible witnesses.
...
Saturday's decline in deaths was in line with a sharp drop in September of both Iraqi civilian and U.S. military fatalities.

More days like this, please.

The media tend to mark events from the 2003 invasion, so while the fact will probably go largely unnoticed and unremarked upon, we should keep in mind that given Saddam's incessant invasions, civil wars, and day-to-day police state brutality this might well be the most peaceful day Iraq has had in decades.
