Re: We killed Bin Laden! f*ck your Jihad! Hoorah Seals!!!!!!!!!!
Yes everything is greatly improved, which is why 4 million Iraqi refugees still haven't returned home after fleeing since 2003 and why Iraqi Christians fled in greater numbers last year than an other time since the war began. Afghan asylum seekers wash up on Australian shores every week.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon spent about $600 million on more than 1,200 Iraq reconstruction contracts that were eventually canceled, nearly half of them for mismanagement or shoddy construction, government investigators say.

Iraq has between 25 and 50 percent unemployment, a dysfunctional parliament, rampant disease, an epidemic of mental illness, and sprawling slums. The killing of innocent people has become part of daily life. What a havoc the United States has wreaked in Iraq.
UN-HABITAT, an agency of the United Nations, recently published a 218-page report entitled State of the World’s Cities, 2010-2011. The report is full of statistics on the status of cities around the world and their demographics. It defines slum dwellers as those living in urban centers without one of the following: durable structures to protect them from climate, sufficient living area, sufficient access to water, access to sanitation facilities, and freedom from eviction.
Almost intentionally hidden in these statistics is one shocking fact about urban Iraqi populations. For the past few decades, prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, the percentage of the urban population living in slums in Iraq hovered just below 20 percent. Today, that percentage has risen to 53 percent: 11 million of the 19 million total urban dwellers. In the past decade, most countries have made progress toward reducing slum dwellers. But Iraq has gone rapidly and dangerously in the opposite direction.

...ordinary Iraqis swelter in the heat with only 2-6 hours of power. Many Iraqis want to know why their government has been unable to provide adequate electricity despite the investment of billions of dollars in reconstruction in the seven years since the U.S.-led invasion.

Police stations built in southern Afghanistan unusable due to shoddy construction, report says

And see here to read all about the hundreds of Afghan schools which haven't been built because the money has been skimmed off by Afghan warlords that NATO supports. But I imagine you'll be skipping passed all of that.
I'll leave supporting fundamentalist Islamic theocracies in Afghanistan up to you and all the other Afghan war boosters
You're on the broke and deluded side.
Hey, perhaps when we're done 'winning' in Iraq and Afghanistan we can go back to Vietnam and finish 'winning' there? I noticed we've taken a bit of break from that little adventure....
