It should not be overlooked that most of the dire predictions in the article you linked, such as:
The Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) said that estimates of civilian deaths in the vent of a U.S.-led attack ranged from 10,000 to 100,000.
are turning out to be, to put it mildly, untrue.
Iraq has been in the toilet as far as living standards for years. People who blame this on the sanctions, in the face of the unbelievable extravagance of the Saddam regime in building billions of dollars worth of palaces and other luxuries for the rulers, are blithering idiots and I don't care to talk to them.
The result of the war can only mean eventual improvement.
