Basically, the only people whose lives were improved are the Kurds in the North and marsh Arabs in the South. Not that those are at all insignificant, but simple fact is that the vast majority of Iraqis are far worse off today than they were pre-war and will continue to be so for a long, long time.
Lots of polls have been conducted by the way and the one by Time is among the more positive ones.
I'd continue, but this is already a thread for the P&R section, so I won't....
