Ive noticed that people pretend that Iraq is now done and everything is fine now. But maybe when the situation is really very horrible for a few years, then if its just horrible (not very), then it looks like a great improvement and a perfect place to hang out.

But Iraq still has lots of bomb attacks. Every once in a while I read about it or hear it, and I admit, it barely registers. When you hear "Bomb in Iraq kills dozens" since 2003, then hearing "Bomb in Iraq kills dozens" again in 2009 goes unnoticed. But six years after the invasion, and Iraq is still seeing lots of suicide bombings, meaning it is not as great a success as some individuals call it.

I tried to do a google search to see if there are any sites that track bomb attacks in Iraq, but couldnt find anything, but I'd like to see some numbers.

Here are some recent news links, I dont think any are more than 3 weeks old,

Bombs kill 50 in Iraq as violence flares

But for the last 2 months, I have read media articles mentioning that "in recent months" violence has come down. Maybe it has, but at what rate? From bombs every day to bombs every week? That is like a man raping someone every week, instead of the previous every day schedule he had. Yes, an improvement sure, but it would still be a dire situation.
