[Mockingbird For Short]

Search Google with phrases like "Iraq before and after" or "are conditions in iraq better" or "are conditions better in iraq" or "is life in iraq better"---- use very specific phrases in your search. Don't just put "Iraq". Start specific, look at the results, and if there are too few, become more general in your search terms. Here's one result to the first question to get you started: http://www.davidwarrenonline.com/Comment/Mar04/index206.shtml

One other suggestion: As you're looking at the list of results from Google, don't just scan the titles, scan the sources-- for instance, you'll see results with sources from www.nytimes or www.washpost or www.cbsnews or other liberal/democrat sites. You can pretty much dismiss those unless you want to know what liberals have to say, which is all pretty much negative.
