Based on an interview I heard on NPR the people don't support him. The problem is they believe , understandably so <sigh> , that we will install some one just as bad....

This is IMO the real issue. Are we gonna do what we have always done and install some evil dictator? Well in the past we did so because we were afraid of a communist leaning population. Hopefully that no longer is an issue. When Saddam is out the first situation we are likely to encounter is the Kurds will want their own homeland. If we go into our old Geo Political know it all mode and start dictating to them what is good for'em and what the region needs ...Trouble....

If OTOH we give the people of Iraq what they want which may be a break up into three countries based on religion and culture as it wuz before the British created the current map it will go a long way to changing our image....I don't have a lotta confidence in Bush to do the right thing. However the opportunity is there.
