BAGHDAD (AFP) - In a sign of returning normalcy, the public swimming pool of the Iraqi capital's Zawra park reopened on Saturday with men and children plunging in the water as gun-toting US soldiers stood guard. Closed since before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, the pool has been rebuilt at a cost of nearly 500,000 dollars and opened at a time when the mercury is soaring and electricity supplies remain erratic.

  • It is nice that swimming in a public place is finally being able to be done. I salute those who chose to re-open the pool, because i know that this is the kind of gesture that normal people acknowledge and respect
