The average Iraqi is worse off now than they were under Saddam.
To paraphrase an Iraqi interviewed a few months back on TV, "Freedom is nice, but what good is it when you haven't had water or electricity for five years?"
And to come to the conclusion that they are happy based on how they act in front of the camera, you could put a camera in the most ghetto part of the US and the kids will act happy just because they get to be on camera. In Iraq there is also the effect gifts are having on the kids (candy, soccer balls, etc...). In places where soldiers don't give them anything, the kids throw rocks at them.
