We all complain all the time about how the war in Iraq came about, and rightfully so.
But today I want kvetch about something else. Why the fuck have we failed so goddamn miserably to materially improve the lives of Iraqis? Or Afghans? Forget the lousy constitution, why can’t we get people some electricity? Forget the wanton violence, why can’t we provide more drinking water?
If nothing else, I hoped that Iraqis would benefit materially from a lifting of sanctions, the resumption of full production of their oil wells, and from billions in reconstruction projects.
I’m just pissed off that we can’t do ANYTHING right, or well.
