Mark Steyn sets out ten (good) facts about Iraq today, and then goes on:
Many Iraqis are voting with their feet. The UN High Commission for Refugees, which was expecting about two million new refugees to flee from the war last year, instead found no takers. All the traffic's the other way, and the UN is now closing down its camps around Iraq's borders owing to lack of business. The other day, the UN's Ashrafi Camp in Iran, after 30 years as the largest Iraqi refugee facility, threw in the towel when the last refugee went home. Despite being advised by UNHCR that it was unsafe to do so, a million Iraqis are said to have gone back. Not bad for a country which in Saddam's day was the fifth-largest exporter of refugees.He has a bit more to say as well - as you'd expect. (Via Mick Hartley.)
