I consider myself lefist, and while I don't google "good things in Iraq," we have a weekly subscription to Army Times, which gives a very balanced view of accomplishments and challenges in Iraq.
ShadowWar has posted many great news stories, but I think that generally they are not responded to not because they feature good news, but because there's not much to add and nothing to debate.
When I read them (sometimes there are far too many posted and I don't have time to read all of them), I think (and sometimes post), "Wow. That's great."
It's not neccessarily apathy, but rather the articles stand alone and don't really require input.
While I question the motivations for the war in Iraq as well as the timing, I am very proud of our Soldiers, and I enjoy reading news reports that cover our success. (I actually have a
photo blog covering a few of the 25thID's projects in Iraq (and several other patriotic/military-themed blogs, many of which are currently "hidden"))
There is always the "yeah, they built a school for children or they fixed the sewage problem in the city, but..." sentiment, which does have validity. I think the best view to take is a balanced, realistic one:
We have tragic setbacks and we have encouraging acheivements. We are making progress.
That's how I see it, anyways.
