Shouldn’t a “Meanwhile in Iraq” thing be about the last combat troops leaving the country?

I understand this is an unpleasant subject, but a “meanwhile in Iraq” should also be about the consequences of the American invasion of Iraq for the people who inhabit the country. We very seldom hear about those, and we begin to hear a lot about how it was all worth it because Saddam was a bad, bad man.

In addition, the civilian deaths caused by a yet to be identified carcinogenic element are not counted as civilian violent deaths, but are nevertheless almost certainly a consequence of the war. They should definitely be reported.
