You must also remember that iraqus consider us to be unwelcome occupiers and are still fighting to get us out. The french resistance are remembered as heros yet so called iraqi insurgents are considered scum. More Western double standards? I think so.
The odd thing is, if Saddam hadnt been so bold as to march into another country, kuwait (something the west does all the time) then he'd still be in power today.
