It's been more than 4 years since we attacked Iraq with "shock and awe". In the 4+ years since, one would expect that we'd have rebuilt that country. But, if you've been paying attention, you'd know that Iraq is still a mess. We destroyed the country and we haven't bothered to fix it. No wonder so many Iraqis believe that they were better off under Saddam than they are now.
And an article today by the BBC tells us that "[n]early a third of the population of Iraq is in need of emergency aid, according to a new report from Oxfam and a coalition of Iraqi NGOs."
In other words, there's a humanitarian crisis going on in Iraq that is Bush's fault, and for which there is no end in sight.
Bush told us that we invaded Iraq in order to liberate that country's people. So this is liberation?
