Has law and order improved within Iraq?
Difficult to say, if you are to believe the media. Then no, a couple of bombs going off everyday isn't improved law and order.
Has life improved for the Iraq population?
Again difficult to say, but from what I read/seen/heard. No generally.
Has there been any benefit to the outside world?
Oil and lots of it.
Has the number of Iraq deaths reached too high a number?
I don't think any number of deaths (civilian) is acceptable, we shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Has the financial cost to the UK, US and other nations reached too high a figure?
No idea, we aren't privvy to that kind of information, but I suspect it runs into trillions of dollars for the US and possible billions of pounds for the UK.
Has the number of deaths within the UK, US and other nations military reached too high a figure?
Any figure is too high.
And dare I ask the provocative question, were the Iraq people better off under Sadam?
Impossible to say, but with the added ability of hindsight, maybe yes.
We got involved in an illegal war, we along with the US ****ed up big style and now the majority of the middle east hate us. But we have to clean up our mess now, we can't just pull out.
Basically, Iraq and anything associated with it is a complete disaster.
Sad times.
@LFC_SL: I too watched the Michael Moore docu on CH4 last night. Lets just say it opened my eyes, to what a disaster the Bush administration really is.
