This information is a few months old, but it gives some idea of how U.S. policy is far more beneficial to Iraqis than were the quasi-colonialist policies of France, etc., ond those of their puppet and benefactor, Saddam and his murderous Ba'athist tyranny. 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq. The current Iraqi government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people. 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq. Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating. 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program. The Iraqi Navy is operational. They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a navel infantry regiment. Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers. Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion. The Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers. There are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks. There are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq. They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities. 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations. 43 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October. There are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%. Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations. The Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004. 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate.
For yet another perspective, I offer these words, written by an American soldier. I do not share all his views, but agree with the general thrust: This "Letter of Apology" was written by Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US |
