Sources/Information : Effects of the Iraq War on Citizens of US/Iraq

• THE QUESTION(S) : A) What specific/general effects did the Iraq War had on the citizens of Iraq ? B) What specific/general effects did the Iraq War had on American (United States) citizens ? C) What specific/general effects did the Iraq War had on the rest of the world ? THE REQUEST(S): Please provide sources (types are described below) that can answer the questions above. Report format or summary is not required. A quick introduction to each source would be appreciated though. Please concentrate on the source description below. This shouldnt be a report, just perhaps a list of the sources THE SOURCE(S): The sources should be from the web, thus its generally easy for you (the researchers). The important point here is to have a perspective not only from the US side, but also from Middle Eastern and the rest of the world. Most of us are aware that US tends to bring certain portions of the news, and so do the other places. A combination of both would give me atleast a general perspective on the whole issue. No need for the summary of events, no need for the history of US/Iraq, no need for lists of people involved, no need for events. Just the aftermath and effects the war had on the people of the two countries and the rest of the world. They CAN include any (or all) of the following : - Newspaper Articles in Electronic Format (US Weekly, Newsday, etc) - TV News Summary (NBC, ABC, etc) - News Reports from other sources (Online Newspaper Sites, and so on) - Personal Accounts (on professional sites, please no personal sites that urge people to accept their opinions) - Polls and Statistics Gathered (Professionally done, 500+ indiivduals must be involved) Please DONT include the following : - Forums or Discussion Boards (for they include single opinions, and usually of 20-30 individuals, thus not a majority) - Personal Webpages (websites that are either anti-war, or pro-war, do missionary work and so on) - Scandalous News Sites (those that talk about monsters under the sea, ghosts in my back yard, and Iraq babies being eaten by soldiers) Example format : "US Weekly : Iraq War Leaves Baghdad without Heating Supply for Weeks to Come" (USA Point of View) Link: http://www.site.com/folder/webpage.html About: Here you will be able to find out about how the citizens of Baghdad did not have their homes heated because the government system collapsed after the war. Thank you very much. I apologize for being so demanging. Just sometimes people go out of hand and put so much effort into information that I may already know. I just tried to save the time and your precious working ability to get the information needed in the most efficient manner.
