It's pretty decent here. Just outside the walls and fences it's a whole different world though. I've been to the Baghdad University a few times on human relations missions and it's a lot like I imagined Mexico would be. With the really rich over here and the really poor over there. With just a little bit of in-between.
Iraq is a really messed up place even without our being here with it's cultural, religious, ethnic, political and financial differences. I would say things are leveling out and even going up in some ways though.
