It's better in Iraq now?
There are 75 tons of toxic depleted uranium leaving the population of Iraq at risk.
Taking a lesson from Israel, the United States has taken to destroying the homes of suspected insurgents. This has worked so well for Israel that it has to deal with terrorism on a daily basis.
There are unexploded munitions throughout Iraq. It will take years to clear this deadly mess.
From April to August, there was a rise in violent deaths, over 1,500 deaths more than the death rate prior to the war. Iraqis are under military occupation and living in terror on their own streets.
Bringing democracy to Iraq is harder than the Bush administration thought and was never the reason for invasion.
The Bush administration wants to install a government and cut American forces before the election. What kind of government will be left in place? The United States had backed Panama's Gen. Manuel Noriega, Iran's Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, South Vietnam's Ngo Dinh Diem and even Saddam Hussein.
Before saying the Iraqi people have it better now, we should wait and see what shape we leave the country in.
