The average Iraqi is NOT better off.... not yet anyway.
The US military has killed around 100,000 civilians (documented deaths, who knows what the real number is), and then tells the Iraqi people that they should be upset with insurgents because they are the ones who made the bombing necessary.
People have been without water and electricty for five years.
Iraq can't keep police officer positions filled. The workers just walk off the jobs.
It is a mess over there, and their lives were better under Saddam. That is a hard thing for some to swallow, but it's true.
