What You Don't Read in the Papers

My point: bad as it may have been pre-gulf war, the economic and social indicators that are used in that article are misleading. Economically, Iraq was a hopelessly crippled country under sanctions. This was not the case in earlier times. It would be hard for Iraq NOT to improve economically with the removal of sanctions. As such, the economic standards of the '90's should not be the gauge by which we measure the success of the rebuilding process.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
