The country of Iraq has gone through a lot ever since the U.S. led invasion in 2003. One thing that has people there optimistic is the fact that the government is starting to tear down some of the blast walls that were put up to deter attacks. The walls cause traffic jambs and are an eyesore.
Citizens of the country are glad that security is getting good enough so that the walls are no longer needed. It is a good sign and I hope the country will continue to make progress.
