Iraq is A Better Place
Think about it- once Iraq had no significant internal violence, a subsidized economy, open universities, schools, hospitals, power plants, running water, domestic industries, a middle class of doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers. Of course, they also had good, old Evil Saddam Hussein (any relation to Barack HUSSEIN Obama, I wonder?)
Well, now that old Evil Guy is gone, along with his scruffy-looking sons. And….. the infrastructure is nearly destroyed, hundreds of thousands have died, millions of refugees are in exile, including most of the professional class, the internecine violence has slowed mostly due to the extent of ethnic cleansing, displacement and general weariness. Running water? 24-hour electricity? Health care? Hope for the generation that has had to grow up during this mess?
Some people just don’t appreciate us. After all, we’ve built a really great, new embassy.
