Closer look at Falluja finds rebuilding is slow

[Frederik]

"Mr. Jamily did think of one quality-of-life improvement. Because only about a third of the residents have returned since the fighting in November, "the traffic is O.K."

Mr. Zoellick listened impassively, a slight smile on his face. As he was getting ready to leave, he told the councilmen he had "learned a great deal" and added, "When it comes to reconstruction, obviously we can help." But "to bring a city back to life," he said, "it has to be done by the people of the city." "

Like get off your lazy asses and start rebuilding! Don't expect America to do everything for you! Duh...

"Whatever happens, do not get out of the car, Mr. Zoellick's party was warned."
