Did we really help in Iraq

An estimated $61 billion in U.S. reconstruction funds later, reality has fallen short of these expectations.

An estimated 189,000 people -- including Iraqi civilians, U.S. troops and journalists -- were killed in the war Iraq since 2003.  The country is considered one of the most corrupt in the world, and many of the improvements promised have not materialized. Sectarian tensions regularly explode into open violence.
