I just watched it on the BBC, and you can watch it online.
This is what we get from the Americans, killing, murders, no basic supplies for hospitals.
The documentary is in Al-Yarmouk Hospital which was one of the best in Baghdad, not anymore under the US occupation.
A 6 years old child operated on without anesthetic, a Shiite woman asking for the return of Saddam.
“People don’t know what is going on in Iraq,” he says, “they can’t hear the Iraqi people screaming.”
In the constant stream of news reports from Iraq, the voice of ordinary people seems to have been lost.
In this film, we hear from them directly… and get a harrowing insight into everyday life in Baghdad.

Lb,
read my lips, They are liberated from using anesthetic and having basic supplies in their hospital
As matdom said, iraqis are poor ppl. Poor ppl doesn’t need to have health care . Only in communist countries ‚poor ppl can have access to a free medical care. Like in USA , the new Iraq should have a medical care for ppl who can afford it. The New iraq can not become a communist country.
Am I good Matdom?
“This is what we get from the Americans, killing, murders…”
LB, I am an American who wants to see Bush impeached and the war to end in Iraq, but what do you expect me to feel when I read a statement like that? What Bush has done in Iraq is a tragedy of epic proportions and it makes me ashamed, but his administration is guilty of incredible incompetence above all, not criminal intent. I realize that doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to an Iraqi cradling their dead child, but it is nonetheless true. He didn’t invade to steal the oil or divide Iraq or ethnic cleanse, even though much of this is happening. The fool actually thought he was done when he got to play fly-boy and landed on the aircraft carrier with the “Mission Accomplished” banner in the background. He’s an idiot backed by the most effective propaganda machine America has ever seen.
You can’t pretend that the abductions and murders have nothing to do with the Iraqi’s themselves. We are not a country of murderers and thieves, and you place yourself firmly in the lunatic fringe when you make statements like the above. It accomplishes nothing except to sideline your voice, and that’s a shame.
I agree with some of the things you bring to this blog, such as telling the story of ordinary Iraqis. Americans are in a stupor when it comes to what’s really going on, and the more your expose them to life in Iraq, the better. We’re not idiots — when we’re not being fed lies, we’re capable of doing the right thing. But when you start your dialog by calling us murderers, do you really expect us to listen? Would you?

I am generalizing but I speak from the point of that using Americans you understand who I mean.
Stef;
Before the embargo and even with the embargo, Iraqi hospitals were the most modern hospitals in the Middle-East, when I worked in the AMC in Amsterdam, people there were very surprised that most equipment were very familiar for me
I know LB,
Iraq had the highest number of Ph D owner per capita in ME even maybe in the world I’m not sure.
I was parodied a little bit Matdom with the US simple view of the world( US=Good liberator, communist=bad, bin laden =good when fighting communist ‚bin laden =bad when fighting US, Iraq=good when fighting Iran and selling oil to US compagnies, Saddam = bad when fighting kowet and not selling oil to US compagnies, Iraqis= poor ppl riding camel …)
