Thread: Iraqi Traffic Ticket

Tonight I feel very good about Iraq's future. I really do.

What's got me all happy is the todays blog at IRAQ THE MODEL

If you folks don't read it ya should. The author of the blog lives in downtown Baghdad and reports on the daily lives of the people around him.

Tonight he was talking about traffic violations. With the advance of the security initiative the police are again giving out tickets in Baghdad. Something in this really gives me a warm fuzzy... the idea that these people are finally getting to the point where a traffic violation stands out amid the violence they've lived through. It feels like life there just might be getting back to normal and so too (we hope) will the dinar.

I've given up trying to figure out if there's a reval coming etc. What I know is that Iraq may (just may) be coming back to life after 5 years now, and no matter how it happens I think this will be excellent for both the dinar and the people of Iraq.

Just wanted to share the sentiment in case folks out there needed something to get optomistic about that wasn't a rumour.

That is a good sign, believe it or not..... Good to hear about the normal everyday stuff that is starting to occur.

Hello Ialdoboath,
Great things can only come from this type of activity in Baghdad. Thanks for the comments and thanks for this new resource site. I feel that sites like this one in conjunction with others give an excellent insite into the real mood in down town Iraq. Rumours are fun to discuss but facts about an improving economy in Iraq gives me goose bumps that you a I and about a million fellow Dinarians will be drinking from solid gold cups in the near future.

Wow that is a major swing in direction. This certainly says its much better than the news declares. Thanks
