Donald, you are not only "unclear on the concept" of the Good News pages, you aren't even within a parsec of the concept.

From the obviously-ignored link:

The question is not whether bad things happening in Iraq should be reported back home - they should, and there are clearly many of them; a fact that no one is denying - but whether there are some positive developments taking place that should also be receive the media's attention. Judging by the coverage, the media's answer seems to be, not very often. Whether that's because such positive developments are objectively rare, or whether it's because they are deemed not important and consequential enough, remains an open question.

But just in case the media has made a wrong judgment in this matter, here are the past two weeks' worth of under-reported and often overlooked good news stories from Iraq.

I expect you also don't look at any of the other links I provide to news, good and bad, from Iraq. If you aren't reading Michael Yon, to give just one example, you are missing a lot of the context behind the raw numbers you post constantly.
