How is it better that nearly 4 million people have fled from Baghdad in the last 4 years....2 million to Syria, Lebanon and Jordan and just under 2 million to other "safer" havens within Iraq?
Or that Baghdad is becoming a walled city, segregated by religious sect?
Or that the US is arming Sunni "citizen militias" to patrol some neighborhoods in Baghdad against the wishes of the government?
All of these factors, along with the surge, account for the drop in civilian casualties.
