It's their country. They don't want us there. What's the question?

Depends on your definition of true Iraqi's. Before the invasion, Saddam held all the power and after, once elections were held, the elected officals asked the U.S. to stay so who are the true Iraqi's? Because we are used to a democracy, most find it hard to accept a leader like Saddam and we all would have fought against him for sure so your question is a little ambiguous. Who are the true Iraqi's? Did Saddam represent the true Iraqi's or does the newly elected government under U.S. protection represent true Iraqi's? The former would have every right to fight the invasion and the latter would have no need to.

If the U.S. were invading Iraq (as you say), it implies that we are there to annex the country and make it our own territory. Obviously, that is not true. The U.S. is not invading the country.
The U.S. is not the problem.
Why don't you focus your attention on the evil scum who targets innocent civilians on a daily basis and who have the most to lose by having a democratic government control the country. Women deserve rights, and in Islamic countries, men do not want to see women become empowered, which would be inevitable under a democratically elected government. Women would have the right to vote and serve as Representatives under such a government.
Why are the terrorists so intent on destroying Iraq's infrastructure, disrupting its commerce, preventing Iraqis from being free?
What are they so afraid of that they must kill innocents and intimidate an entire population?
Think about that for a good while.

Well, no, not really. We're not running Iraq any more. We ousted Saddam and destroyed his armies over 3 years ago. The Iraqis have been running their own country, with an elected government and with their own armed forces and police for 2 years now.
And it is not the US they're fighting, and haven't been for years - they've been fighting against the new government and the Shiites. They've managed to kill about 40,000 over the past 3 years, bombing mosques, markets, etc.
To call it fighting against occupation or invasion at this point is a blatant distortion of reality.

If your argument is valid, US would invade (or liberate according to your view) some other neighbor countries. Do you truly think that former Iraqi regimen was the only dectatorship in the region or that Iraqi women have the worst luck in regard to their rights?

the question should be....what side are you on? Firstly, it is obvious that you are not in the military and that you have some sort of hate towards the US. But to answer your question.
Firstly, it was not an invasion. The US liberated the Iraqi people from a tyrant. The US are trying to help rebuilt the infrastructure of this country. So why does the Iraqi people continue to hate the people that is trying to help them.

Doesn't the very fact that they are fighting against it imply that it is sufficiently objectionable for them to do so? You can talk about their previous government being unelected, but the Iraqi failure to overthrow it is, in many ways, a plebiscite giving it legitimacy.
