Thread Name: BS: The Good Things about the Iraq Occupation
Subject: RE: BS: The Good Things about the Iraq Occupatio
There isn't anything consistently good about the occupation that applies to the entire country at this point. With the rise of organized resistance against the Anglo American alliance and the nations supporting it, both inside and outside Iraq, I think it safe to say the jury may remain out for quite sometime as to what is good about the Iraq occupation. As others have noted, it spiked the child mortality rate and exacerbated poverty in the region that had already taken a heavy toll because of Gulf War I sanctions.
If I were an Iraqi, or a citizen of any Arab nation in the Middle East, I might well be praying to be saved from the Anglo American barbarians coming to save us from ourselves.
