Hi LindyBill; Re: "You must be working on the premise that if we take out Saddam, and try to install a better Gov there, the average Iraqi will hate us for this and want to engage in guerilla warfare against us."

No, they'll hate us for killing their friends and relatives, LOL. They really won't be any more interested in the theoretical explanations for why we're doing it than Americans are interested in the explanations for why the WTC was attacked. This is the nature of human nature.

P.S. I suppose your position is that after we've starved the Iraqis for 10 years, killed or wounded many of their soldiers, left them in fear of constant air attacks for a decade, "accidentally" killed many thousands of their civilians, and finally invaded their country with a few hundred thousand well armed soldiers, they're going to love and respect us.
