[QUOTE="john250, post: 292460, member: 4406"] Copy and paste from a blogger I read. "In the face of relentless violence, political chaos, economic uncertainty and nightly curfews, Iraq's maternity wards are experiencing an unlikely baby boom," the Washington Times reports from Baghdad: Despite the obstacles, the birthrate in Iraq actually has increased since the U.S.-led invasion 43 months ago, according to the country's Health Ministry. The rate of births in the country has jumped from 29 births per 1,000 people in 2003 to 37 per 1,000 last year, according to government figures. In neighboring Iran, the birthrate is half that--21 per 1,000 population, while the average birthrate in the Middle East is 25, according to the World Bank. As the 19th-century Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore observed, "Every time a child is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man." It seems the Man upstairs isn't yet ready to cut and run from Iraq. [/QUOTE]
