Then you're reading to many reports from ABC, NBC, CNN, AlJeezera and the rest. How about the average person I see daily in Iraq. The region I'm in now was a favorite target of Saddam's thugs. Today, it's a growing community. It's not downtown LA by any stretch. But it has schools, businesses and open air markets. They have running water, something never offered by Saddam. They also have electricity. Now it isn't on 24/7 but it is on about 20 hours a day. Again, much better. This may seem like a small thing to you but for these people it was great. No more rape gangs. No more murder squads by your friendly Saddam police.
As to Blackwater, what commie paper have you been reading? They have nothing in common with the secret police of Saddam's time. Blackwater takes a hit, it doesn't invade a town or region and kill everyone. That would be Saddam's secret police. Blackwater isn't my fav but they're not like Saddam's at all.
How you like to lie to us Teagen! The Iraqi ministry reported 2-3 days ago that the plants for generating electric power are being shut down for lack of fuel. Furthermore, that electric generation is still far below what is was during Saddam's administration.
