Baghdad: First New Year's in years

BAGHDAD - It was something not seen in Baghdad since before the 2003 invasion — people publicly welcoming a new year with singing, dancing and general revelry.

The ballrooms of two landmark hotels — the Palestine and the Sheraton — were full of people for the first New Year's Eve celebrations after four years of violence that has bloodied Iraq.


Give thanks to God for all we have including life itself. Pray for those less fortunate, the victims of war. And for those who fight our battles for us, be especially thankful.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
