Some of the infrastructure may be in better shape, until it's destroyed by
militants, but getting to and from school, hospital or restaurant runs the risk
of being taken hostage or generally killed. Hostage taking is a for-profit
business in Iraq; car bombs are common occurrences, and on and on. Imagine
living that way here. Under Saddam people knew what to expect. Under the
Americans it's continuous, often life-threatening, mayhem. On top of all this,
we're occupiers in their country.
Also, the Americans were surprised that the countryside had limited
electricity. Is there anything the Americans weren't surprised by in the
country they invaded?

Andreas Ramos:
"Any proofs for any of these statements?"
On resupplying schools:
- $60 million dollar World Bank grant to rebuild schools
http://tinyurl.com/3l8gl
- U.S. soldiers working with the schools in their area of responsibility
http://www.iraqischools.com/
On both schools and hospitals:
- truthorfiction.com's evaluation of various claims
http://tinyurl.com/5ohpb
On electricity:
- USAid's update on the production of electricity http://tinyurl.com/6e269
I found the above in five minutes of searching, which should give some
indication of how easy it is to find out the positive things happening in
Iraq. I am not going to spend anymore time backing up my claims unless I
have some sense that Andreas will live up to his side of the deal.
