Check this one out. One of the reasons some believed that proved Iraq had no WMD before the current war in Iraq, and I adopted myself, was that if Iraq was really a threat to use WMD, especially nuclear, Israel never would have allowed that to happen. They bombed a nuclear reactor site in Iraq in the '80's. This is further proof, Israel planning Iran attack.

Noam Chomsky, Selective memory and a dishonest doctrine.

So the reason, right now, that we went to Iraq was to liberate them from Saddam and of course bring democracy there. It doesn't look like the Iraqis see it that way, For Baghdad's Sunnis, Hostility Toward Occupation Is Growing. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has made it illegal to march (protest). Sounds like the Iraqi's just want to practice some of that freedom they've been promised:

"Let the people shout for one or two hours, they get tired and they go home, and the business is completed," Hashimi said. "Saddam was president for 35 years. Do they think they can erase him in one minute or one night by calling the police? What happened to your Statue of Liberty? Change the name."
