“Neither rain nor sleet…”

Amidst this glowing account, Better days beckon for Baghdad's weary postmen, about the dedication of the workers and all the improvements being made to the "new" Iraqi postal system, be sure not to miss the following sentence:

''Hopefully within the next few months we should be back to pre-war service levels.''

Although "major combat" ended over a year ago, the Coalition can't seem to get the Iraqi post office up and running any more than it can get the electricity and water flowing at their pre-war levels. Shame!
