An alternative opinion (asking the Iraqis) would also be interesting. The data isn't all that easy to come by, but the indications appear to point towards the Iraqis feeling that their "liberation" was not necessarily something that they would have been asking for if they had known how the whole mess would turn out.
As we do not know how the action in Iraq will turn out, your comments do not hold merit. I just wish that those who do not have personal experience would not act as if they have any of the answers. Those who can do, those who can't shoot their mouths off.
