As much as I would love to believe this is true the inconsistency of the dollar vs dinar as compared to Euro vs dinar etc makes the information skeptical. When the dollar depreciates it is a global statement.

I've been out of the loop, so I appreciate the post. Thank you

Progress! I like reading stories that show that Iraq is growing. Thank you for sharing the post.

AC has received a lot of criticism for saying what people don't want to hear. That's the problem with the truth, sometimes it isn't what we want to hear, but need it anyway. Personally, I would rather hear the truth than to be told something is going to happen next week, oh wait next week, or I meant the week after that. He said things are progressing, and truthfully stated that progress takes time. There are people behind this investment. It takes time to change an entire culture. I know I teach the refugees from this culture. They are very strong in their beliefs and are willing to change, but it takes small steps. And, I mean very small steps. For them to trust the banking system because their money is worth more would not work. And the bank of a country needs the people of that country to have full faith in the institution. That takes time. When you have "gurus" that predict things that their audience wants to hear, there will be a voice that says the truth. When you have several "gurus" predicting what we want to hear, a truer picture, being so contrary will annoy the senses. That's what contrary does. This is an investment in a culture, and another site's news giving insight to that culture. When the culture has recovered from the havoc, the investment will be complete. So I read the AC posts with the news of the culture, not the investment, in mind.

This really caught my attention and showed how American I am. My first response was "there are three beds in the room without a curtain?" Then I realized, they would appreciate having the facility to be able to take care of their community. Watching Iraq regrow has really taught me a lot about the good things in our country that I had taken for granted.

Sorry to hear about this. They probably need to set up signs or something to that effect. We have those in AZ. The signs to mark the sacred or historical sites.

After spending 20 minutes using arabic keyboards, and dictionaries I'm guessing it means rainbow or watermelon Seriously, it's good to read about the progress that is being made and that the necessary conversations are taking place.

Crazy but true...if you want to appear reliable you gotta have someone in charge of security. Tell it Al-Hasnawi, tell it

I love the articles that show they're looking like a country with a real government. Thanks for posting this.

Part of me says nice they are recognizing the ones that were bullied. The other part says this may he opening pandora's box a little wider than it should be. Only time will tell.

Thanks for sharing the info. Hopefully they'll stick with this timeline. Progress has been made so it is possible. Just in case I'm holding onto my optimism until July 1.

Too funny. I guess this is what they call a diversified portfolio lol

One thing I find especially nice is that they are able to focus on the income status. For so many years they have been under damage control. Now they are looking and moving in a forward direction. Thanks for sharing the information
