06/07/2004: "Why We Fight"

Via Zeyad. According to the L.A. Times, doctors are being persecuted in Iraq. Because of this, Iraqi doctors are less likely to do their jobs.

So if some stat pops up, "health care was better under Saddam", or "people long for SaddamCare", we can ask why. Opponents of the invasion will, of course, cite such statistics as evidence that the invasion was a mistake. I would view such stats as oversimplified; that they mask evidence that we are in Iraq for the right reasons; to help defend otherwise defenseless people and to defeat some very evil people.

I wonder how many such statistics have been trumpeted to make the invasion look wrong?
