Here's a question that I'll preface with one of my favorite quotes, "those that ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them."
Here's the question...
How did Americans react when an invading force attempted to dictate our decision to have independence, and sought through armed conflict, on American soil, to instill subserviance to their demands?
Follow up...
Would we expect the Iraquis to respond differently?

Ok, let me just say this... if you really believe that the Iraquis LIKED to be tortured by Hussein, then you have another thing coming. I have several friends who serve and ALL of them told me that the Iraqi people were GRATEFUL that we were there. They lived a life that we as Americans in today's world know nothing about. I think we tend to take for granted the freedom that we have and our ability to decide things for ourselves. The Iraqi people did not have that luxury.
