One Year On......

Neurotic Iraqi Wife blogged Construction is taking place. Im right in the middle of it and I know for a fact that hospitals, clinics, schools, police stations, roads, ministries all over Iraq are being renovated or constructed. Yes I cannot deny it, cause I see the pictures at work everyday. But ask the average Iraqi, how do these things play in his everyday life, he will tell you its meaningless. The average Iraqi wants safety, wants electricity, wants water. The average Iraqi wants a government that cares, that does something for the people and not just sit and argue about federalism, name of country, etc....

Then the average Iraqi needs to help identify the insurgents that are threatening the safety of the people, and who are blowing up the electricity power stations and transmission facilities. Those are some of the first things that were restored after the Americans got there.
