Neither good.

I live in a community with a significant number of Iraqi immigrants, many that escaped Saddam Hussein (they feel they barely escaped with their lives).

Many left family in Iraq ... the consensus seems to be neither pre-invasion or post invasion Iraq was "good" (acceptable/safe for them .... )
