It's hard to say if things are better or worse than before the invasion. Before the presence of coalition forces Iraqis had electricity and did not have thousands of fundamentalist crazies running around having a war with 150 thousand soldiers from a far off land. After the presence of the coalition forces, they have little electricity and they do have thousands of fundamentalist crazies running around having a war with 150 thousand soldiers from a far off land.
But while they don't have electricity and they do have a war, they don't have Saddam anymore. I guess you'd have to ask someone in Iraq if things are better or worse. You'd probably get lots of answers.

I'm not debating wether its a breeding ground or not, that answer is obvious. I just don't think its more of a breeding ground than before. (training wise.. see post below.)
