In a continuing discussion of Iraq with my folks, siblings, and kids I have 
provided this link. It is the product of USAID, which is part of the State 
Department.
   http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/updates/may04/iraq_fs31_051104.pdf
The file size is 374 KiB, which might help you decide whether to download it. 
Or you can go to the web page
   http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/
and directly read one section at a time.

I'm delighted to note that so far everything I have read in there is given 
entirely in metric units. I have yet to see any "translation" into American 
Hodgepodge Units.

Gratuitous political comment: I'm also delighted, of course, that things are 
going so well in Iraq. It's too bad the public media presents mostly the bad 
news. I doubt that a lack of reporters' knowledge about the metric system is 
the culprit.
