I'm sure then NYT didn't like the thrust of good news from Baghdad...so check the last paragraph of that piece..... always trying to stir up trouble....ALWAYS. The good news:::: Sinan al-Shabibi, director of the Central Bank of Iraq, says Iraq is likely to stay financially healthy in 2007 because of oil revenues, a large cash reserve and a powerful bank to guard against failures. Only a big run on the local currency or destabilizing flows of cash could cause major problems. The last paragraph....we can't have any good news from Iraq.... Still, banks are increasingly the targets of heists, and bank executives are being killed and kidnapped. The salaries they pay may be the last canary in the coal mine: the last approximation of stability in an enterprise gone toxic. As salaries go, so goes the last hopes for the new government of Iraq.
