[via PDK]  In Iraq: “Nina;s Economic Specialist: In light of the current reality, Economic reforms have become a economic necessity.“  …to me this means this crisis has forced them off of “stuck”. Off of this endless loop that has been taking forever. This conflict [with Iran] has forced Iraq to finish or accelerate a lot of the economic reforms… I do believe this conflict…while its ugly…forced us closer to the finish line.
