But you have to admit, the people of Iraq are much better off than they were under Saddam Hussein - you know, when they had frills like electricity, water, housing and food:
BAGHDAD, April 25 (Reuters) - The United Nations rebuked Iraq’s government on Wednesday for refusing to disclose politically sensitive civilian casualty figures in what it described as a “rapidly worsening humanitarian crisis”.
Shi’ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s government has accused the U.N. mission in Iraq of exaggerating the death toll from sectarian violence between majority Shi’ites and minority Sunni Arabs and banned Iraqi officials from releasing data.
In a new human rights report on Iraq, the United Nations said academics, journalists and doctors and members of Iraq’s religious and ethnic minorities were increasingly being intimidated, killed or kidnapped by armed groups.
