How we can be sure of that they wanted this sort of liberation that would cost them 300,000 civilians lives?

Do you know that there were a lot of Iraqis and Kurds who lived a happy life over Saddam. Those who were persecuted were the Saddam's opposition who wanted power and money. That is it. And they were supported by the USA government and some other countries who were interested in break-up of Iraq. I mean the Kurds separatists. The kurds were not any better than Sddam was. I mean those Kurds who wanted to overthrow Saddam

Dear Lion,
Outstanding, excellent, phenomenal question! I'm so glad you asked!
Added: Lion--They had lost many lives via Saddam. They had a "lost" freedom. They had an oppressive life. Those in the U.S.A. are celebrating openly. They voted for the first time for new leadership. People who vote are being asked. People speak via their "feet". I am sure the Iraqi people will thank the USA for liberty and justice for all. Be at peace Lion, they want the same freedoms all humanity desires.

Well, they certainly could NOT have spoken out and told anyone that they wanted to be liberated from Saddam & the baath party, b/c they would've been tortured and killed. Of course they wouldn't say anything that would cause the secret police to be alerted about them. Who wants to be put into an acid bath? or be forced to watch an autopsy done on your mother? No one..With those kinds of consequences it's not hard to keep large numbers of ppl in line. As for the numbers of civilians lost, the insurgents & militias that are locked in this power struggle are killing civilians everyday, in an attempt to stop progress & force the US to withdraw. Yet, even though ppl are murdered almost daily for lining up to get a job, the next day they line up again. That tells me they want something better - & want it bad enuff to risk death to get it!

Of course not. And you know what? That wasn't necessary
because we didn't go there to liberate anyone but to strip
them of their WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
Are those spin doctors already working that great that we
forget about such little details in such a short time?
We started to liberate them the day we decided that the WMD
story isn't too convincing anymore.
The only ones we "liberated" from the beginning were the
Kurds and the Shiites. Although you can be pretty sure after
our treason in the 2nd Gulf War the Shiites were not to keen on
that.

We asked one.
Ahmed Chalabi, an Iraqi living in London.
He promised us everyone in Iraq would welcome us with open arms and throw honey and flowers and cake at us or whatever.
I guess that's why you don't pick ONE unreliable guy and base your entire strategy on what he says.
Sort of like the single CIA source they nicknamed "screwball" who told us that Saddam tried to buy uranium in Niger.
One unreliable guy isn't "intelligence", it's f*cking game of Telephone.

.. from what ive seen with iraqi interviews they thought it sounded nice at first ... but they didnt realize the implications or that our idea of "liberating" them was to take over ...
