>>" Life is more "normal" for most Iraqis today than it has been in 35 years. "<<

Are you talking about the 2 Million who left the country to keep alive or the other 2 Million that had to leave their homes inside Iraq and are now refugees in their own country or are you talking about those left in Baghdad that live in now walled neighborhoods afraid to leave the walled off enclaves?

Or maybe you are talking about those 100,000 Awakening Sunnis paid $300 a month by us to keep them from killing us who now spend their days manning checkpoints to keep Iraqis from killing Iraqis.

Or maybe you are talking about the Maliki Government Shia military that we have armed and trained that is now arresting and probably killing Awakening Sunnis that we are paying.

Oh yeah, life for those Iraqis not killed, maimed or jailed in the last 6 years is really normal when they have electricity, water or sewers that used to work.

You are so full of BS.

How many hours is the water and electricity turned on these days? 6? 8? 10 hrs per day? I think you live in a fantasy world where the US does no wrong. Therefore, you are not believeable and I don't care what connections you have to Iraq.
