What was the Iraqi Healthcare System like BEFORE the USA invasion? What was the worst plight of the Iraqis then? What is it like now?


Pre 2003 Iraqi Health Clinic.


The people of Iraq have suffered from the effects of landmines and UXO since the Iran-Iraq war. Numerous instances of military action since then have led to the amplification of the problem. The most recent increase in landmine casualties, which were up a reported 90 percent in the Northern part of Iraq, occurred during the hostilities in 2003. Recent conflicts and more than a decade of sanctions have impaired the health care system’s ability to handle the various needs of landmine survivors.


Any question as to WHY the Iraqi people don't want the USA there? Are their lives better for it? I don't think so. Won't you attack the USA military? Won't you trust a militia that can deliver some kind of health care to your community over anything the USA can do? I would.
