Well, I saw it on the tv, and I read about it on the web. I wondering if this is one of those news items which is effectively about pushing our "I *like* the idea of something so simple actually working" nerve.
Certainly better news than the UN headquarters in Bagdad being bombed. I'm genuinely sad that the best effort so far to rehabilitate Iraq is being brought down by the opposition to the US presence. I wonder if it was caused by people who were acting as an expression of political principle, religious principle, or insane lashing out.
I am at a loss to think which would be worse.
