News from iraq


Posted on another forum
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just spent a week in the Greenzone. While there I met with some Iraqi's I had met the last time I was here. We were drinking Chai and talking about Iraq.

He told me there have been many articles about removing zeros from the dinar. I asked what does that mean? He said 1000 dinar would equal to 1 dinar. I asked isn't that a good thing won't that make things cheaper to buy? His words: The government is our stealing money. He further stated that many Iraqi's feel the same way about removing the zeros.

I asked if the when he thought the dinar would becom strong. He said he didn't know, maybe after the elections maybe 20 years, he simply didn't know.

I asked him about the oil sharing law. He just started laughing and went on to say how the polticians have money and drive new BMWs and Mercedes. And continued laughing some more.

He said that his neighborhood always have power and businesses are opening and many people are at the market.

He said Iraq is getting better.

Nothing Earth shattering, just thought I would share this with the forum. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to the Greenzone SOON!
