Not entirely true. The "bad guy" Afghani's were those aligned with either the Taliban or Al-Qaeda. The common Afghani person, from my understanding, was quite happy to see the Taliban removed from power.

Similar to above comment: The Iraqi's are not necessarily the bad guys right now, only the insurgents. While public Iraqi opinion of Americans is on a general decline, they are (or at least were in 2003) happy that we have removed Saddam Hussein from power.
