I think we tend to take for granted the freedom that we have and our ability to decide things for ourselves. The Iraqi people did not have that luxury.

I think different soldiers in different areas are going to have different accounts. There are large numbers of people that did NOT appreciate what the US did.
And lets not turn on the spin machine. We didnt go there to provide freedom to the Iraqi people. Our main purposes for war, as outlined to congress and the UN were because of the non-existant wmds and the non-existant ties to Al Qaeda. Now, the oil and the reconstruction money had NOTHING to do with it
