Education enrollment in Iraq was near 100 percent prior to the invasion. It is now at 30 percent. Maybe I have been indoctrinated by the media, so point me in the direction of what I should be consulting and we will take it from there.
What really irks me about this Administration and sometimes the media, depending on who you listen to, is this notion that Iraq is somehow better off now that Sadaam is out of the picture and the good old U. S. of A. is occupying the territory.

If the people of Iraq aren't hungry for democracy then we're spinning our wheels. I fully understand our motivation for the invasion, but to suppose we can rebuild that country when so many of their elected officials are beholden to different religious groups and groups within groups has really tied our hands.
