Sven,
I have to ask in all seriousness. Did the people of Germany appreciate us liberating them from their leader Hitler. I mean there are some similarities between the people of Iraq ostensibly adoring Saddam and the German people, at that time, adoring Hitler.
Do you think the people of Iraq will appreciate the US effort as much as the German population did?
Seriously: No. The way of life in islamic nations is sooo different from the Western world that our logic and reason (Dictator gone = grateful populace) just does not apply.
I dare to say that while a minority in Irak may recognize this as an attack on Saddam, a majority sees it as an attack on Islam, their home, their innermost beliefs.
After Saddam will be gone there will be an endless religious war against whatever regime the US puts in power.
