Worse Than Hell

A Writer's Quandary
I've been trying to think of a word that means "worse than Hell" to use to describe post-invasion Iraq. I Googled the phrase to see what I'd find. According to the rest of the world, what is Worse Than Hell is:
I think it's clear that Hell isn't even in the same league with Iraq. Iraq makes Hell look like a vacation spa. Even Worse Than Hell is a piker. I doubt there isn't a single Iraqi who wouldn't gladly trade their daily lives for any of the Worse Than Hell experiences that plague Americans.

I am no closer finding a way to describe Iraq, post-US invasion, but Worse Than Hell ain't even close.
