Depends where ya live over there. Are ya in the northern Kurdish area where they'd kick people out of their homes in Kirkuk and replace them with Sunni? Or the other Kurds that they exterminated with chemical weapons? Or the Shiite in the south that lost its agriculture because Saddam damned off the wetlands? Between the chemical weapons and starvation MOST of the country is VERY pleased to see his ass gone.

Of course they don't like our being there but they also realize that if we were to leave it would be outright chaos. Basically, were are the better of the two evils at present.

Have a good one!:s4:
