I think Iraqis ARE the victim of US aggression. It is clearly obvious to most that the war was a bad idea. Who were the victims? More than anything, it was the Iraqi citizen. Death by the thousands. Many homeless. Some starving. Lives completely uprooted. I think there victimization goes without saying.
Of course the other victims are the soldiers fighting over there and their families. They had no choice either.
As far as why the other Arab states are angry, many view this as another humiliation to the Arab world. It is yet another example of Western powers dictating the course of action in what they view as a regional struggle.

The war looks like it was a bad idea now. Things are not good over in Iraq at all. But hypothtically, let's suppose that the insurgency wasn't so strong. Let's suppose things would have gotten under contorl after a couple of years the way we thought and everyone was living in realtive peace right now in Iraq. Would you still be upset about the invasion or would you be happy about it and figure that they are much better off in a free Iraq with no Saddam?
