Despite free and fair elections in Iraq, the violence continues to spread across all regions of the occupied nation. The %$%$%$%$ administration hyped the election as a prime reason for invasion in an effort to rewrite history, ignoring the real reason of non-existent weapons of mass destruction.
As a result of the hype and success of the elections, many Americans believe that Iraq is on the path to self governance which would mean that our troops can come home. Reality dictates the exact opposite.
Since the elections in Iraq on January 30th, 11 American soldiers have been killed and well over a hundred Iraqis have lost their lives. To date, over 1,400 Americans have been killed in Iraq and over 15,000 wounded have been evacuated due to serious injury. Thousands of soldiers have lost limbs within the conflict which was started over a perceived threat from former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Many also believe that the invasion of Iraq has benefited the country. Not including the estimated 100,000+ Iraqis that have died since the invasion, the majority of Iraqis are faced with a difficult existence which is far worse compared to the former regime. Iraqi's do not have daily power outages, they have brief periods during the day in which they actually have power. In addition water and sewer remain a challenge even in urban areas such as Baghdad.
Many contractors such as Halliburton which were provided with no-bid contracts have produced little results despite millions of dollars in expenditures.
Due to the difficult living conditions, no employment and the stress of occupation, the resistance that Coalition forces battle against continues to grow each day. Many agree with Sen. Ted Kennedy that the American occupation of Iraq is fueling the Iraqi resistance.
As the violence continues and American fatalities mount, supporters of the %$%$%$%$ administration and the invasion of Iraq will begin to question the sense of it all. Comparison's to Vietnam may be valid, but in the case of Vietnam the goal of stopping the spread of communism was clear, in the case of Iraq, the reasoning is not as apparent despite the revisionist activities of the %$%$%$%$ administration.
