| 5 years after Iraq's 'liberation,' there are worms in the water Posted by Ed Thompson on 3/16, 9:26pm | ||
| Just saying something's bad doesn't implicate anyone as at fault. I wasn't up in a roar about it being bad in Iraq (some of that is to be expected); but I found this part disturbing: "Increasingly, Iraqis are relying on militias and other armed groups to fill the services void. Stories abound of neighborhood militiamen commandeering power plants and forcing terrified engineers to flip the switches even during government blackouts, turning militants into heroes and further undermining the unpopular Maliki administration. In some poor areas of Baghdad , militias or Iranian-backed charities have become the main source of propane tanks, food staples, garbage collection and other services that the government should provide." | ||
