-100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed compared to 35% before the war.

I recently saw some footage of an Iraq hospital on TV, it was disgusting. Depending on what I was suffering with, I'd almost rather take my chances at home. I'll bet that the hospitals that are open and functional are packed with casualties of OUR making.

-Sewer and water lines are installed in every major city.

If thats true, it's because they were bit BEFORE we got there. There hasn't been time for that kind of civil works project for a country of 25 million.

-The country now receives 2 times the electrical power it did before the war.

Yeah, the locals are using the same as before and the profligate foreigners (the CPA and Coalition forces) at under 200k persons are using the rest.

Anyway, verifying the existence and identity of the alleged letter-writer does nothing to validate his claims. Did he VISIT every hospital and school? Or did someone TELL him these things?

Did they capture all the al Queda operatives who were pals with Saddam? Did they destroy all the WMDs? CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE PAID $200 BILLION TO SEND THEM THERE FOR. MISSION NOT FUCKING ACCOMPLISHED, thank you very much!
