Iraqi blogs mostly, like iraq the model, the mesopotamian and healing iraq. It's not exactly stuff that interests Western reporters.

Can I give you the exact source, right now? No. But I've read it. The salaries of teachers and doctors were absolutely appalling under Saddam. Something like $7 a month. Teachers now make something like $300 a month.

If you dont believe me, there's no reason why you couldn't email those Iraqis and ask them yourself.

Sadly, living standards haven't risen for all Iraqis, it's true
