People in Iraq are very friendly, normally. Nevertheless take care when you are talking to police, military or other 'officials', even hotel personnel, try to avoid political themes, if you are asked a political question better be moderate, show tolerance.
Most Iraqis are anything else but pro Saddam Hussein. Nevertheless the system scares them a very lot - and for sure there are even those who support Saddam Hussein, and believe me, you won't recognize who they are.
There is no real danger, just be careful.
Officially it's forbidden to take pics from one of Saddam Husseins palaces, bridges, military forces, ... something you may be know from other nondemocratic countries.
