Minutes after a July IED attack on an Iraqi Army convoy in Mosul

video

The purpose of this video is not just to show the destruction that terrorist bombs inflict on a community, but to show U.S. and Iraqi soldiers working together in extreme circumstances, and how quickly the Iraqi fire and ambulance system responded, within minutes of the attack. It is a glimpse at the resilience of the Iraqis in the face of violence.

I am impressed on how quickly the emergency services showed up! Iraq has started to take care of itself, professionally. It may be a very long time before it becomes a vacation spot, but the first step big of taking care of its own seems to be taking hold.
