Compared to the current situation in Iraq, how different was it before the war?

I’m not living in Iraq now, sadly. But from what i gather it is horrible out there. it is completely different now. Back then we were safe, on a personal level, nobody ever felt fear of going out to the street. We were leading a normal life, the only bad thing is that our rights were denied. But now, we think we have our rights, which we don’t. We think we can practice them, but we cant. we think we have freedom and democracy, but freedom and democracy are won, achieved, not given. That’s why we don’t appreciate it.


Do you think the war was worth it or not? Why?

the war was not worth it at all. For one simple reason, it didn’t achieve it goal. And that is for a good reason too, it was a lie. The whole thing was a sham. We are way behind where we were in 2003. Thins war cause a lot of wounds, that won’t heal easily.
