I agree. Many of the supposed troops in the front lines for Iraq in the gulf war were basically taken off the streets and farms and marched to the front and kept there because the rifles of the elite guard were at their backs. Saddam has not been suffering, the Iraqi people have. We didn't get rid of him and they haven't been able to so what are they to do with their suffering? They do not have a list of choices here; to protest they have to align with Saddam.

Unfortunately, geopolitics reigns as it did with Vietnam (although we now reach out to Vietnam in many ways, we have't been very enlightened by the whole experience). This is geopolitics at close to its worst.
Ironically, one of the few worse phenomena has been the Iraq-Iran wars.
