Baghdad Residents Criticize U.S. Actions Over Past Four Years

HeadlineMar 21, 2007

Residents in Baghdad marked the fourth anniversary of the war by criticizing U.S. efforts in Iraq. This is Emad Abdullah of Baghdad.

Emad Abdullah: “After the fall of (Saddam’s) statue, we did not see any change. There were many promises, but none of them were fulfilled. They promised us democracy, travel, freedom and reconstruction. The country needs reconstruction, needs services and electricity. We did not find any change. What we found is deterioration. We turned to an abyss, more killings, destruction and kidnappings.”
