Failing health care in Iraq - 20 Mar 08

Five years after the invasion, Iraq's health care system remains in crisis.

Hospitals have to deal with the aftermath of bombs and shootings on a daily basis.

It is very hard for doctors to do their job. They often lack basic equipment and the necessary drugs to treat the injured.

And many health workers have just been murdered or kidnapped.

One that I refused to answer! I talked about the American interim administration and the policy of de-baathication!

Your assertions in your first post are clear - you state a rhetorical question and then you continue on a diatribe that denounces Al-Jazeera's report. If you were asking on something that you wanted to learn about why did you attempt to answer it yourself by questioning their claims. It hardly seems rational.

Again you criticise my English skills, we all know that is laughable.

[PauloGVieira]

Yawn! You're Canadian and you are not from the French part so you're American.

I should also add that there was no assertion made in my first post, so there is no proof of the claim YOU just made. My post was in fact a question, one which you refused to answer until now when it finally dawned on you that you are illiterate.

Also what is my "crazy American agenda"? How can I have one if you acknowledge that I'm an opposer of the war? Are you really that psychotic?

Please before you argue with someone, learn the language that you're arguing in.

"I dont care if you support the war of not - you're a f*cking idiot and the original assertion in your first post is proof of this. I am well aware of your crazy American agenda."

People who censor words with asterisks are usually complete morons, but thank you for softening the blow of your scathing remarks towards my typical American ignorance. It's really too bad that I'm not an American, something which I've explained several times, or else your patent racism might affect me in some way

I dont care if you support the war of not - you're a f*cking idiot and the original assertion in your first post is proof of this. I am well aware of your crazy American agenda.

"Id like a detailed logical explanation" - Go out and look for it because Al Jazeera is not going to spoon-feed you everything in a 3 minute clip.

Its funny you call me illiterate - English is not my first language but can assure you I am more qualified than you in the language department.

[PauloGVieira]

LOOK AT THE INTERIM ADMINISTRATION OF IRAQ THAT WAS RUN BY THE AMERICANS! THEY SET UP A SYSTEM UPON WHICH SUCH RIVALRIES AND DIVISIONS WERE UTILISED.

You conveniently ignore facts that respond to the issues you raise. I also dont think you can expect a concise answer to your question in a short YouTube post - go out, research and discover for yourself.

[EyesoreII]

OKAY, yes I get it, doctors are being kidnapped, but who is kidnapping them, and how is the United States culpable? I'm 99% sure that you're right and that I would agree with you but I kind of need a reasonable explanation as for why this is the case. I am someone trying to learn something, not someone trying to challenge your views, you please answer my question rather than mocking me with stupid shit like "did you watch the video?" Better question: did you read my post?

[EyesoreII]

Wow Paulo I know for a fact that you are illiterate. I have said countless times that I do not support the war in Iraq. I even said the following in my original question:

"/While I agree that invasion probably has a lot to do with it/, I'd like a detailed logical explanation as for why this is the case and not just some meaningless correlation"

Where did I argue that it was not the reason? I merely asked why it was the reason, you uneducated twat. Learn to read please.

"How can people get an education" - Your original post passed an incomplete judgement on the war and health in Iraq, you said yourself you are not educated on the topic so why did you post such inflammatory remarks? This is a sensitive issue and if you are not well-versed then shut-up and read quietly about it somewhere else.

Its funny you question my education, I can assure you it is better than yours.

[PauloGVieira]

"God forbid I ask a question" - Go back to your original post fool, your question was rhetorical upon which you argued how the war on Iraq was not the reason for poor Iraqi health services.

Idiot.
