Subject: RE: BS: Iraq Conditions GREAT- the Damning Truth
Perhaps you might consider this. The hospitals are in that condition because the tyrant that ran the country used money that was supposed to go to medical supplies and food, for weapons and to support his military control and lavish lifestyle. Money that the UN was supposed to monitor and control. We now find out that there was corruption involved in the highest levels of UN administration. War damage done to Iraqs infrastructure would be repaired faster if insurgents (some foreign supplied) stop the daily kidnapping and bombing campaigns. Now the war is over, where is the UN? as usual it is proving itself as useless and incompetent as ever in suppling useful assistance to a country that desperately needs it. The USA is at least trying to get some semblance of civil goverment back in control, and for the most part Iraqi's are restoring and developing the country. Rome wasnt built in a day, and neither will Iraq. You can take lots of pictures and provide all kinds of commentary, but it is action and deeds that restore a country after war, not mindless bleeding by international media.
