Yes. As long as that opposition doesn't take the form of developing WMD and having ties to terrorist organisations. The US tolerates, has relations with, is even friends with many governments that oppose our policies. Why would a free democratic and peaceful Iraq be any different?

I may have agreed with you here a couple of years ago but at the moment I have my doubts. Its difficult for me to be sure, as I really don't understand what happens in South America as much as I'de like to, but the goings on in Venezuela seem to to have some US involvement.
