Here's a good example of why the people in Iraq fight us and how much they "love" Sadaam.

Is it all true? I don't know of course, but is has the ring of truth to it.

It may be true, it may not be true (personally I am inclined to believe it is true).
But it does not change a thing. The question is not if (the majority of) the Iraqi people love Saddam, but if they will fight for their home country against an outside aggressor.

I think you underestimate the hatred for Western imperialism in the Arab world. Very few Iraqi would believe in your noble intentions of restoring democracy and free the oppressed people. Very few Europeans even belive that.

The reason I brought up the news is that we obviously read and watch the same stuff. I just find it strange that we would manage to come to so completely different conclusions.
