Don't forget potential secular totalitarianism (e.g., Saddam).
"WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST FREEDOM???"
Would you feel more free if a huge country came into your moderatly sized country and told you how you are goign to run things?
Most Americans had nothing against France for aiding us in overthrowing the King fo England as our ruler. There is no logical reason for Iraqis to oppose a foreign power that aided them in gaining freedom any more than Germans or Italians or Japanese had a right to do so in WWII.
