When you go to the NY Times home page, there is usually a link under the principal news story about Iraq called, "Complete Coverage". Let's take a look at the headlines on the linked page (this will obviously change over time):

Is there absoultely NOTHING positive to report ?!? I'll even take a positive based on a negative like "Family who lost 6 men to Saddam's torture now preparing for constitutional vote". No wonder so many people think this is Vietnam.

I didn't see anything about the following in Pravda, I mean the Times, which you would think is a big step towards our goal of unifying Iraq.

Iraqi leaders embark on reconciliation quest

CAIRO (AFP) - Iraqi leaders have gathered in Cairo for Arab-sponsored talks aimed at ending sectarian strife, amid mixed expectations and continued jostling over the inclusion of former Baathists in the discussions.

The landmark meetings, due to lay the basis of a reconciliation conference in Baghdad, came against a tense domestic backdrop, after insurgent bombings in
Iraq over the last 24 hours killed more than 90 people.

Arab League chief Amr Mussa, whose organisation has recently stepped up its involvement in Iraq, described the start of the three-day meetings as "an historic day launching the reconciliation process".
