Iraqi girl with a serious heart condition gets treatment. (The start of the story can be found here; scroll down to "Days 11-16."

Anyone who still thinks American soldiers don't care about the Iraqi people can bite me.

I'm not saying Saddam Hussein deserved to stay in power...or that the United States is to blame for everything 4 EVAR. All I'm saying is that this could have been solved through more diplomatic means. Like dismantling the insane levels of corruption within the U.N. Oil for Food program, for example. Like actually sticking it to Saddam so he couldn't get away with keeping all the food money for himself.

I don't know. This whole thing is too expansive and emotional for me to wrap my mind around. *Sighs.*
