IRAQ, BAGHDAD - JUNE 25: An Iraqi soldier conducts a patrol with a US Army scout platoon, June 25, 2008 in Baghdad, Iraq.  Neighbourhoods like Sadiyah became a battleground for Shiite militias and Sunni extremists after the bombing of the Golden Mosque in Samarra in 2006. Tens of thousands of people were either forced out of their homes or fled the violence to neigbouring countries or other parts of Iraq. Now predominantly Shiite, Sadiyah is being used as a test case by the Iraqi government to encourage the millions who have fled - many of which have the skills and money to rebuild the country. Since early 2008, Iraq's security situation has improved with oil production is increasing, record government surplus and easing sectarian tensions. (Photo by Warrick Page)
