This is not necessary true. Based on weather conditions, the wind gyres in the northern hemisphere between the continental United States and Hawai'i are rotating counter-clockwise, with wind (called the Trades), blowing toward Hawai'i.

With that said, flight from the continental United States should actually be faster this way as planes will get a little push from behind (tailwind). Going from Hawai'i to the continental United States could undoubtedly receive some wind resistance (headwind).

Ultimately, the pilot can determine the speed at which he wants to have the plane fly.

The winds of the Jet Stream blow from west to east. Airliners fly at the altitude of the Jet Stream and frequently inside it. This means the airliners often have higher ground speeds going from California to Florida than they do going from Florida to California.

How long does it take a letter from Hawaii to reach Iraq?

In 1941 Japan attacked Hawaii and the Americans call it an act of terror and a surprise attack... in 2003 Americans attack Iraq and didn't call it a surprise attack or an act of terror, so I'm guessing they don't know about the protocol. Thus, mail must take at least over 62 years to be delivered.
