Water, food, electricity, and other necesities aren't gaurenteed on a day to day basis. There is violence in their streats daily.

It wasn't guaranteed before the war either and now they have it more than before. Cities that never had electricity before now have it for 6 hours of the day. Running water is now clean and doesn't have to be boiled. There was violence in the streets daily and that happens in a minority of the towns - small strongholds that cause a lot of death. There are LOTS of towns that are seeing peace and prosperity without the fear of Saddam coming in and taking their children for his child army.

The majority of Iraqis are not fighting and are grateful for our help. My husband just spent a few months there doing some work and he was treated VERY well by the Iraqis. We have many friends there that we keep in touch with.
Are there problems? Yes. Are they the most common occurrence - nope. But it's not sensational so the US media isn't talkin' about them.
