Most Iraqis today use regular toilets. They also do use toilet paper. The reason they used to have those hole toilets is because it was easier to wash their butts with water, which was done to make sure they were clean for prayer. If only all Americans washed their bottoms after taking a stuff!
No, even the government buildings have toilets like that and it's customary to wipe your ass with your hand.
Also, most government and corporate officials have their own little servants called "tea boys" which are prepubescent boys whom they buy from impoverished families. Aside from having to serve their masters tea and whatever else they ask, it's socially acceptable for their masters to dress them up as girls and have love with them at night in a tradition called
bacha bazi. It's not frowned up in their culture because it's believed that Allah can't see at night, and any sin you do during night hours won't be counted against you. My old arena partner in World of Warcraft served 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an interpreter, and one of the Iraqi government representatives he was meeting with there offered him a little girl as a gesture of good will, and when he outright refused, he was offered a little boy, which of course he refused outright again.
Iraq and the entire Middle East is a forgeted up place, where do you even get off trying to convince anyone otherwise?
