As far as reconstruction is concerned, it is still unknown as to when Iraq will have water treatment and sewage plants back to prewar levels.

Mary,
Do you have a source for that?

The info I have been reading in military oriented E-mails is millions more Iraqis than ever before have clean water now.

Also would like to point out that the UN is in charge of improving Iraq's water. That is "UN" not US.

I understand many H2O and sewage treatment facilities have been and are being built to replace old ineffective, dilapidated systems.
US Army and USMC units have been providing safe water to many villages.

4 million Iraqi kids have been immunized in the past two years. School attendance is up 80% nation-wide. 1,500 schools have renovations complete. Another 1,000 are being renovated right now. 7,000 more are scheduled.

All is not grim...:o)
