Iraqis Challenge Bush to Do Better Than Saddam

[maddezmom]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqis challenged re-elected President Bush (news - web sites) on Thursday to bring them the elusive new dawn he promised when U.S. forces deposed Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).



"Bush talks about freedom and democracy but all the Americans have brought is death and destruction. Where's our electricity? Where's our oil money?" asked Abu Ghazwan, a greengrocer in southwestern Baghdad.


"Bush got rid of Saddam, the madman behind the mass graves, the wars and the huge debts. Now let him do better. Bush wants to play occupier, then let him improve security."


Struggling with daily bombings and kidnappings that have plagued the country since last year's invasion, many Iraqis were dismayed Bush had won another term, though few had hoped for much better from his Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites).
