Define 'better'.

Few jobs.
Their power grid is worse than Saddam days.
They have water and sewage issues.
There is random gun fire, looting, rape, and madness daily in their streets.
Little to no real infrastructure rebuilt in regards to hospitals, schools, power plants, etc.
They have to worry about living in the wrong areas, or towns now based on religion.

With all those winning benefits coming after the war. Who WOULDN'T be happy with years in those conditions?!!? I can only imagine the insane amount of gratitude I would have while my family starved, I had poor education and health care, little power or fresh water, and bullets all hours of the day and night..

Oh that's right. They have 'democracy' now..
