"We are indebted to them for that. But we are
         now close to forgetting this good deed because of the suffering of the past five years."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0319/p01s01-wome.html">The experiences of Muwaffaq's family mirror the hardship and determination of many Iraqis since the US invasion of Iraq on
         March 20, 2003. Muwaffaq, like many of his countrymen, today finds fresh hope in the significant drop in violence and sectarian
         killings over the past few months.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0319/p01s01-wome.html">When asked how they expect things to be one year from now, 45 percent of Iraqis said things would be somewhat better or much
         better, according to the results of a poll commissioned by the BBC and ABC News and released Monday. That's up from 29 percent
         six months ago, but lower than in 2005. The poll shows that Shiites and Kurds are more optimistic than Sunnis.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0319/p01s01-wome.html">But many Iraqis and outside analysts regard the current situation as little more than a fragile cease-fire</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A626D444-B111-4FD6-AEC2-A713ADF03815/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
