this information widely report! Why would this 'good news' not be widely report in a media that claims the are reporting fairly? I hope you don't believe their claims - see below excerpts and tell me, do you consider this good news?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. military deaths declined in the Iraq war for a fifth straight month in March even as insurgent attacks continue unabated with Iraqis increasingly the targets.
[...]
But the monthly U.S. military death toll has steadily dropped...
[...]
That would represent the smallest monthly death toll since 20 in February 2004, the lowest of the three-year war.

Stephen Hayes has an interesting opinion about the New York times
choosing ignorance, where the recently released 'Iraqi documents' are concerned -- is anyone surprised at their (New York Times) downplaying the significance of these documents?
Reading the two pieces together, one gets the unmistakable impression that the Times doesn't want to know more about the documents, their contents and what they tell us about prewar Iraq. The Times, it seems, has chosen ignorance.
[...]
Lost on Shane, it seems, is that these documents were released in large part so that we would no longer have to rely on the opinions of anonymous intelligence officials who, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee's bipartisan report, knew very little about Iraq before the war. It should hardly be surprising that the U.S. intelligence community would seek to downplay the significance of these documents after paying them little attention for three years. In any case, the release of the documents allows the debate to move from speculation to fact. It is a development one would expect the Times to welcome.

Most Better Off Today Than 4 Years Ago March 30, 2006--Fifty-five percent (55%) of Americans say they are better off today than they were four years ago.

Patriots, Then and Now -- Peggy NoonanWhat is the legend, the myth? That God made this a special place. That they're joining something special. That the streets are paved with more than gold--they're paved with the greatest thoughts man ever had, the greatest decisions he ever made, about how to live. We have free thought, free speech, freedom of worship. Look at the literature of the Republic: the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Federalist papers. Look at the great rich history, the courage and sacrifice, the house-raisings, the stubbornness. The Puritans, the Indians, the City on a Hill.
Whose Backlash? - Victor Davis Hanson Americans recoil at the volatile ethnic enclaves in France and the Netherlands--and can understand how such tribalism could quickly escalate to sectarian violence in Iraq, the Balkans, and Rwanda. Unless we curb the present influx, return to the melting pot, and salvage a legal remedy from the present illegal disaster, what we saw this week may only be the beginning of something far more dangerous from both sides of this avoidable crisis.

That evil US Military has gone and done something else -- something you will not read about in the MSM... Yep, you guessed it, it is/was a good thing -- what is the news in that?
Water Purifying Projects Completed Near Baghdad (CNSNews.com) - Soldiers in Iraq last week completed a water treatment and storage project that provides purified water to residents of four communities north of Baghdad, according to the Department of Defense.
Never fear, the anti-war drones are out there and being negative about this too!
An anti-war group, however, questions the success of water facilities in Iraq. "I don't know what to believe about what the military says it's doing and all the wonderful work it's doing," said Art Dorland, the chairman of the Iraq Water Project, an offshoot of the group Veterans for Peace.

Here is something you will not see in the MSM. These 'law-abiding' citizens, who feel they must hide their face are such good citizens and love this country so much they not only fly another country's flag but fly our flag, the United States Flag, upside down and under the country's flag they actually love! Give me a break -- I am supposed to accept this as 'good for America'?
Here is some very interesting news and proves something many of us have known for years -- home schooling anyone or here is an idea vouchers, haven't I heard that somewhere before?
D.C.'s Distinction: $16,344 Per Student, But Only 12% Read Proficiently The District of Columbia spends far more money per student in its public elementary and secondary schools each year than the tuition costs at many private elementary schools, or even college-preparatory secondary schools. Yet, District 8th-graders ranked dead last in 2005 in national reading and math tests.

National health service ain't such a hot idea -- at least to those that actually know... Wonder if they will be hearing about the success of foreign 'national health services' anytime soon?
Doctors opt to have private operations - Sunday Times - Times Online Dr Sarah Burnett, a consultant radiologist in London who worked in the NHS for 15 years, said she took out private medical insurance while she was employed in the state service because she was unimpressed with the level of care she witnessed first hand. “NHS treatment is not a pleasant experience in any way — from the standard of the food, to ward cleanliness and the chance of catching MRSA,” she said.

I guess you have heard, by now, the comments about our soldiers by Richard Belzer -- 'the Law and Order guy' on
Real Time with Bill Maher! First let us look at some of his comments.
“Doesn't mean he's a brilliant scholar about the war because he's there.”
"It's this patronizing thing that people have about if you're against the war everyone's lumped together. You know, the soldiers are not scholars, they're not war experts."
Now we review the first sentence of Mr. Belzer's 'mini biography' from
IMDb A social misfit, was kicked out of every school he ever attended, due to his uncontrollable wit.
Now let's look at
Wikipedia...
He unsuccessfully attended junior college and later enlisted in the Army. He soon realized it was a mistake and tried to get out.
Think there might be a little animosity towards the ARMY? Let face it -- the man was and is an idiot yet now with his 'supporting actor' status feels he knows more then all -- GIVE ME A BREAK!

There is still some support for the military. I personally agree with this
ruling -- it amazes me that the liberals want to use the "withholding of federal funds" to enforce "their wants" but heaven forbid we use it to support our defense forces...
The nation's top law schools lost a significant legal argument on Monday when a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could withhold funding from schools that bar military recruiters in protest of the anti-gay 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.
