Yes, Iraq was a wonderland before the ill-considered US invasion. Iraq
was a wonderland when it invaded Kuwait. And Iraq was a wonderland
earlier, when it was being aided by the US in its horrific war with Iran
that killed millions of people.

slightly better than Detroit.

vivid here as it was in Bush's speech.
