> Iraqis suffer from contaminated drinking water, inadequate hospitals,power cuts and funding shortage

In reading reports of Iraq before the war, it seems that they did have power, water, fully functioning hospitals.(Of course US sanctions were destroying many lives, you know the inhumane sanctions placed on Iraq to prevent them from building weapons which incidentally worked so we didn’t need to attack them) Also before the war the Iraqis still had their homes, gardens,schools...they weren’t being bombed or shot while driving past 7pm so I believe the vast majority do not feel their lives are getting better.

You seem to have the idea that Iraqis can’t have these things without US. Actually Iraq is full of professionals perfectly capable of rebuilding Iraq themselves. We should pay for the damage and leave.
