The result has been an unmitigated catastrophe: the destruction of Iraq as a functioning society in an ongoing civil war, fueled by outside powers, that has caused economic ruin and collapsing living standards. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died in the violence since 1990.
结果造成了彻头彻尾的灾难：外部势力煽风点火的持续内战破坏了经济，大大打击了生活水平，伊拉克社会功能被彻底摧毁。1990年以来，数十万伊拉克人死于暴力。
