The United States spends more money on Iraqi aid then is spent to aid all African nations combined - except Eqypt. And yet still Saddam was able to provide Iraqis with more. Is it not a good thing that we have saved the Iraqi people from themselves? That our president is a business major who knows how to get things done - in Iraq as in New Orleans?
