5 years on crime remains unpunished

A letter in today's The Age:

Let me get this straight: Iraq has a million dead (give or take), countless more severely injured and several million displaced, all out of a population of roughly 26 million. Add to that a hollowed out professional sector, heavily damaged infrastructure, intermittent to non-existent supply of basic amenities (electricity, running water, medical care) and an ethnically cleansed society with deep sectarian divides — a situation exacerbated by insurgent fanatics who are now being armed by the occupying force in the name of keeping the peace. And Western powers are concerned that if they leave, something bad might happen?
