I never understood why the United States bombed everything in Iraq when they attacked. Why did they destroy the power plants, sewage plants and water treatment plants. Now 6 years later they still don't have these services.

Mission Accomplished.

We destroyed a nation, now the people that we liberated will be left without them. They march the streets and demonstrate because of what we did.

I'd imagine that Haliburton will be in Iraq 10 years from now still using their no-bid contracts and the people of Iraq still demonstrating for water, power and sewage services. < :-)

"We destroyed a nation"

We did not. We liberated a nation.

"They march ( in ) the streets and demonstrate because of what we did"

Ain't freedom sweet! Heck, before the liberation, anyone marching or demonstrating in the streets against the government would be jailed or killed.

Protests for more water and electricity,way to go Iraqi Arabs. Time for Iraq arabs ,to be free from corruptions,dictators and bring more water/electricity.

I hope there is more protests in all Middle east arab nations/Israel/Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan.

This only way to make governace better, for common poor people and make Middle East better. Peaceful demonstrations good for Middle East Iraq revolution improvements ,and to bring down leaders from their high horses.

Sarge, I guess if you like the fact that the Iraqi people have suffered for the last 6 years because we destroyed the infrastructure of an entire nation. We've spent a $Trillion so far and we'll be paying another $Trillion before we're done.

I'm glad you're so elated at the suffering of millions of people Sarge. < :-)
