"We are living in the Stone Age"

That's a quote from an Iraqi describing his life. The limited availability of electricity is part of the problem; there have been four nationwide blackouts in two days. The limited availability of electricity has shut down some water plants, so water has become scarce. Gas is now $5 a gallon, which has translated into sewage seeping from the ground as the trucks that pump out septic tanks cannot afford gas.

A very discouraging article.
