What has the occupation of Iraq accomplished, lets read what a Iraqi school teacher thinks :
[LEFT]"What have the Americans accomplished for this country that they can now decide to just leave?" asks Hasnaa Ali, 42, a Baghdad school teacher who was hurrying home with a bag of groceries to prepare her family's iftar meal — the daily breaking of the fast during the holy month of Ramadan. "We don't have clean water or electricity; prices for everything are very high. There is no security, no jobs, no housing." She adds, "If their goal in coming here was to grant us freedom and democracy, how can they leave us when we are sunk in blood and trash? How can they hand Iraq over to our Iraqi politicians? Does the American president think we will be safe with such politicians? I don't think he understands them as well as we do."
Yes the neo con vision of if people have democracy they will be free and happy. And our nation building was such a success they have no jobs,housing,water,electricity and high inflation to boot.And how is the security since our with drawl :

Actually, the government is considering this removal of American troops from Iraq, as a military maneuver.
This time around, when Johnnie comes marchin' home it will simply be, that he'll be moving from the chow line to the welfare line.
But hey, having a government job overseas, killing people, has got to be so much better than being here in America, with no job at all.
