What you WON'T see on mainstream news...

I don't mean to say we should sugarcoat what is going on in Iraq, and imply nothing could be done better. But, how about not making it seem like Iraq is worse off than it was under Saddam? This picture says it all. Who knows what it will look like in 20 years. Does anyone really think in 20 years Iraq will be worse off than it would have been w/ another 20 years of the Hussein family running it? Please...It took Dresden 50 years to rebuild after WWII, and that was only AFTER the Communists were out of power there, when Germany unified. The time horizon expectations of people amazes me. I suspect I will see leftie-pundits on TV soon complain that removing Saddam from power has been a failure since Gay Marriage is not yet allowed in Iraq.
