This is one place in Iraq where go-getters are abundant and no one is waiting for a handout. Unlike much of the rest of Iraq, the men—and a considerable number of women—who ply their trade here live by a bootstraps philosophy, eagerly profiting from an equities market where daily trading volume has grown twelvefold since Saddam Hussein’s fall.
The success of capitalism in Iraq will drive Islamofascism out and destabilize dictators, oppressors, and Islamofascists throughout the Mid East, as others see what freedom is like and long to emulate the good fortune of the Iraqi people.
