to think that the "rebuilding project" in Iraq isn't a colossal failure? I"m on a Lutheran campus that is dominated by Bushies and cheerleaders for the Right. Every single one of them defends The "war" in Iraq and says we're doing a bang-up job in Iraq. Oh really? Over 600 casualties, 4 times as many as the early stages of Vietnam, and over 6000 wounded is a bang-up job? It's also baffling when they defend the "rebuilding" project. Over 4,000 civilians dead, 90 percent unemployment, less than 45 percent of the populus has access to electricity or water, diseases like typhoid and dysentery are on the rise and 3 million are starving and in abject poverty. Let's also not forget about the hundreds of thousands of refugees who do not have access to food, shelter, or hospitals. How can people think that we are doing a good job over there? The more I hear people say that this "war" isn't like Nam, the more I think, "You know what? You're right;this is worse."
