Iraq is better? or worse?

3/2/8 there are 2 Missoulian articles on the same page. One says the situation in Iraq is improved. The other says Iraqis are moving from Iraq to the US in record numbers. The things-are-better article is from AP. It doesn’t go into what it means to be better. I don’t remember where the other article was from. I could go look but why bother?

Why are all those Iraqis moving to the US if things are going so well in Iraq?
