From: "Robert G Lewis" 

I suspect it may not be as bad as that article said but it would be good to
see a real study done on the situation before and after the invasion.
Personally I would expect things to be worse than before the invasion as we
did destroy a lot of infrastructure and have not rebuilt for various
reasons such as the insurgency.
