Sure the infrastructure is in shambles, there are milliions of displaced Iraqis, daily violence and a horrible political situation, but I hear that Starbucks and McDonalds will be opening soon.

The infastructure was in shambles before the U.S. invaded, largely inpart to the sanctions imposed by the UN for a bit over a decade and Saddam did not put any funding towards them. Sanctions imposed due to the Gov of Iraq not fulfilling the obligations after being defeated by coalition forces removing them from Kuwait.
Name a Nation on Earth that does not have daily violence? (Perhaps the Vatican counts but that is one small country)
Horrible political situation.... let them step up and work together, it will quickly become better. (Requires effort) Took the U.S. what 13 or was it 14 years to draft the constitution?
Displaced ... return to your country and make it work. (Requires effort once again)
Nothing happens overnight. Iraq is a 10-20 year effort.

Infrastructure is not in shambles it is better that the last 10 years under Saddam. The displaced Iraqis have been returning in droves since July. Daily violence is at an all time low right now because of the help by both Sunnies and Shites

But the Starbucks and McDonalds will be in the huge American Embassy, which Iraqis can't access.

Kinda like the exaggeration of civilian deaths. I keep seeing this 1.2 Million figure, which is B.S. It's more like 80,000, which is still bad but no where near the lies spread by the anti-war crowd.

It's all relative. Iraq is a much better place than Iran, don't you think? They have elections, they don't have stonings. They have violence in the streets, but so do we.

Good question but ridiculous lib talking points followed.. You and your ilk continue to deny progress because of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Nothing Bush does will get cool aid drinkers approval because it may make him look good. That includes the biased media as well....
