Last night, CBS' 60 Minutes took a look at a very different side of Iraq from the one usually presented in the media, and indeed, different from the one the blogosphere usually shows:

'The Other Iraq' is a land of friendly faces, booming construction, and peace. You can learn more here at CBS online.

Also be sure to check out the story of Ahmed Gilani, who grew up in Texas, but felt a need to return to Kurdistan, and Bob Simon's Notebook for more on Kurdistan's desire for independence.
