Iraqi Marshlands Being Restored

Above: a marsh Arab now free from the murderous tyranny of brutal, sadistic, greedy dictator Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein almost destroyed the Iraqi marshlands, which had provided a life for Arabs for millenia. For his own selfish, evil purposes. He cared nothing for others.

“The (Iraqi) parliament knows the damage the previous regime caused to the environment,” said Salima Inseel, head of the marshland department of the Ministry of Environment. She said the receded marshes, along with pollution from factories in the area, have led to unseasonably warmer temperatures in Iraq .

In 2003, immediately following Iraq 's liberation by Coalition forces, the interim government set up the Center for the Restoration of Iraq Marshlands, under the supervision of the Ministry of Water Resources. The center is the lead organization for restoring the marshlands.

Ali Hashim Katie, the director of CRIM, said the marshes are already at about 40 percent of pre-1991 levels.
Read it all. It's more of the good news of the badly-needed liberation of Iraq from the monstrous Saddam Hussein.
There are all kinds of good things happening now in Iraq. Why doesn't the MSM tell us about them?
Does the MSM have an obsession with death and all sorts of bad things... to such an extent as to be completely blind to the positive side of the world?
Are the MSM merely prophets of doom and gloom? Do they wish Saddam was still in power, gassing, torturing, raping, executing innocent people, etc.?
Thank goodness... Saddam has been defeated and is being brought to justice.
