In pictures: Iraqi lives two years after Saddam

Six months ago it was very bad. There were many kidnappings and explosions. We were afraid what could happen on our way to university. A lot of bad things happened along the route I take. The situation is not so bad any more, but it is still not always good.

What we need is a strong government with a lot of authority that could reinstate a sense of security. Only then could the situation improve.
