access to clean drinking water when you think about specifically web master is located in iraq by the tigris and the euphrates this i mean historically it's. where the cradle of civilization in iraq would come from it's full of resources energy water you know the environment there and. and until now millions have been spent spent on fixing it but nothing has been done and if you speak to many of the scientists many people who are expertise in fixing the water it doesn't require all that money it doesn't require that much it just requires efficiency which means that the millions that are being invested in reconstructing iraq need to go away from the political elite and move towards trickling down to the citizens many people have said this many people think there is the expertise there but it's very difficult to see with the current institutions those kind of funds trickling down and fixing these very basic needs but it's easier said than done isn't it corruption cuts to the heart of all of these problems that is perhaps the most serious challenge facing the country and is now becoming a threa

snap shot all these and they can decide what you can you can't say because tigris private industry how do we keep free speech if suddenly corporations are going to decide what is a pretty speech it's a very important question i think. one of the things that people need to understand is we had we had a pretty decently functioning system for a long time in this country that was based on the idea that bad or noxious or libelous or defamatory speech we dealt with in a very specific way through litigation we deliberately set the bar very high to prove what libel or defamation was going back to like nine hundred sixty four. but when the internet came along we created a carve out for internet companies and we essentially the law is called the communications decency act i think and this law basically says that you cannot hold an internet carrier responsible for the defamation or the libel that takes place on your platform so that means is all this speech flowered on all these platforms and you can't sue the companies for it so it created the shield for defamatory libelous fake speech everythin
