As someone whose parents were born in Iraq, this deeply saddens me to watch this video. I cannot believe a country with such a rich history based upon agriculture supported by the fertile crescent has been reduced to a third world country that receives it produce from foreign markets. The people there can only do so much with a lack of infrastructure and a constant state of volatility. Things will not be back to "normal" there for nearly 50 years in my opinion.
It seems as if Iraq is now a colonial country of the United States. If not by name, by economical, and agricultural practice.
