All too true

Peter Mansbridge points out another absurd contrast from the Iraq invasion:

Apparently, the former Iraqi dictator has it pretty good -- he gets the food he wants, the books he likes and a seemingly endless supply of cigars. Mind you, he does have to do his own laundry, but at least he's got water for that -- millions of his former citizens, "liberated" from his ruthless rule for two years now, still don't have fresh water, or the peace required for normal lives. Central Iraq, where more than half the population lives, continues in a slide toward hell.
