"LIFE IS BETTER"
Iraq needs help from outside to be "reborn," says Chaldean Bishop Rabban Al-Qas of Amadiyah, in northern Iraq....

"At least 80% of the Iraqi population regards the coalition troops as liberators," the bishop said Tuesday in an interview with AsiaNews.it...

"We have electricity 24 hours a day, food is found with greater facility, people are going back to work in the fields, hospitals function, there are private clinics and also medicines," he said. "I can say that life is better than before."

Bishop Al-Qas hopes that the U.S.-led coalition will help Iraq to build a secular democracy, calling it the only possibility for freedom for Christians and Muslims.
