Iraq's health minister, Ali al-Shameri, 44, discusses the effects of the US elections on his country.
The Americans are the reason for the disaster in our country. Rumsfeld made many mistakes, and we are pleased to see him go. The Americans understand nothing about Iraq. They are not protecting us, but just themselves. The Democrats' victory will make things easier for us....About 100 people die every day as a result of violence, and three times as many are wounded. Doctors are being threatened and are fleeing the country. Of a total of 18,000 doctors, the best--close to a thousand--have already left the country. I don't have enough hospitals and far too few beds. We are running out of strength, both financially and otherwise, and we will not be able to survive much longer.Workin' hard--makin progress--gettin' all freedom-y!
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!

Oh, wait... the schools were all destroyed and chances are good that they will die tomorrow.
