Progress

It's a start. Here's a report from Iraq the Model. Since the news will only show bomb, you'll need to find "progress" elsewhere. Now, it's not Miami, but things so seem to have quieted down. And it isn't victory. It's just progress.

-------------
Despite the traffic jams and though this is the largest deployment for troops in the capital, daily life and civilian activity-contrary to what was expected-still continues at a rather normal level, unlike previous crackdowns where life came to near paralysis.

As the post states, "Since the news will only show bomb...". In order to measure progress, you need to get more news than just "ghost town" banner stories. Yes, there are ghost towns, but progress is measures by success, and this post highlights success.
