Whatever relief or joy was felt by Iraqis at the fall of Saddam Hussein´s violent and oppressive regime, it was soon subsumed by the horror of what followed. When the 10th anniversary arrived, Islamic State (IS), birthed by the war´s fallout, had yet to make its frightening rise to establishing a “caliphate”. It did not take long for anyone to realize that the Iraq war was the disaster that many had predicted; not much longer than it took to confirm that it was launched on a lie and that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Two decades on from the beginning of the war, with the “shock and awe” assault of March 19, 2003, we are still fathoming the impact of the U.S.-led and U.K.-backed invasion. The body count and wider damage have not stopped rising since.

Politicians and officials have pocketed billions. Iraq currently appears relatively calm. troops are still present due to the ongoing battle against IS. Though there is now a government, following a year of deadlock after elections and an outburst of violence in Baghdad, the state remains unable to keep the lights on or provide clean water.

Policymakers ought to be honest about those mistakes and be clear about the steps they will take to avoid a repeat. But the success of both the financial industry and Silicon Valley has always depended on government aid and prudent regulation. This bailout is necessary because the government was not paying enough attention.

The drug, Evkeeza, was approved in February 2021 as an additional treatment with other lipid-lowering therapies for patients aged 12 years and above with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

March 23 (Reuters) – The United States and Canada have reached a deal that would allow for the closure of an unofficial border crossing between New York state and the province of Quebec, but the final details still need to be worked out, a Canadian government source familiar with the talks told Reuters.

The film was inspired by his experience as a hotel manager during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when his family and hundreds of guests — mainly ethnic Tutsis like his wife — took refuge inside the Mille Collines as machete-wielding mobs killed people outside the ho

Alabama´s new Republican secretary of state campaigned last year on leaving ERIC and withdrew on his second day in office. Trump demanded on social media that states drop out. Louisiana was the first to quit last year.

Accused by Trump and the former president’s allies in the House of Representatives of a political “witch hunt,” prosecutor Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, has hit back at Republican “interference” in the investigation.

Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget would bump ATF funding by 7.4 percent with a total $1.9 billion with the goal of tightening gun laws.

Congress should also require clawbacks of executive compensation and dividends at failed banks. If bankers are required in the future to return some of what they have gained from their poor decisions, it might have a sobering effect.

Now many of these same people are trying to destroy one of the country´s best tools for fighting the rare cases of voter fraud that do occur. The attacks on the database aren´t really about ERIC.
They´re part of a broader, multiyear campaign to bully elections officials. Demagogues have planted seeds of doubt in the minds of Americans that their votes don´t count.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Americans with private insurance won´t have to pay a penny out-of-pocket for the vaccines. Worse, Moderna´s profits will fund trials of other vaccines in development, including for cancer. Moderna will also offer free vaccines to the uninsured. Moderna will profit from its innovation. So what´s the problem?

A 59-year-old man was arrested last week for allegedly double voting in the 2020 presidential election. Florida authorities brought the felony charge because of information submitted by Virginia to a national database called ERIC, which is short for the Electronic Registration Information Center.
