I'm not sure about that. Many, many are thankful for having to live under the Sadam regime and worry about being killed by their own government. These drastic changes take time. More and More Iraqis are buying into this but you will have those that are still against it, ie. those supported by the Iranian government.

The last poll I saw, with a margin of error of +/- 4, was
that 65% of Iraqis thought it o.k to kill an American. As
in Vietnam, when your children are sick from Agent Orange,
your grandfather is dead from a bomb, your cousin's
daughter died from diahhrhea from lack of medicine, it's
hard to know who the enemy is. War is not a concept or
philosophical principle to those in the midst of it. War
wears a human face, which, when thousands of miles away,
at a local pub or the mall, is easy to forget. Also, a
whole lot of Iraqis would like some form of moderate
Islamic government (polls suggest without variance). We
Westerners don't seem to understand that not all people
in the world understand separation of church and state
as we do, nor should they have to if they do not
desire. I know this: if my son or daughter died at
the hands of "liberators," I would be angry...and
thinking "what strange liberation is this?"
