The assumption that you have any clue about the purpose of the
freeing of Iraq is laughable. "WE" all seem to have different
views depending on things and stories about the action that have
nothing at all to do with the "reasons" or the plans to free Iraq
and eliminate Sadam's regime!

Rid? The Coalition will withdraw as soon as the situation is
stable with an elected government in control. The people of Iraq
are aware of it, and like anyone else, and uncomfortable in a
condition of flux between "was" and "will be" in their world.
Rather like the victims of the tsunami.
