Not at all. Why would you prefer living in Iraq before 2003 instead of after ?

Ah, missed it at first, now read it. Always get confussed with long parts of text.
Iraq before 2003 was only relatively safe and comfy for people that keep their mouth shut. People that protested would end up dead.
And protesting, when they come to get our fellow citizans, we must all do, even when it does not concerns outrselves , otherwise we will be next. Never forget what Pastor Martin Niemöller wrote in 1945 !
