Ok, say the US decides to give the Iraquis the right to do whatever they want to do, and they vote to have a muslim fundamentalist as a leader (which they most likely will if they had the chance). He may turn out to be better than Saddam, but the freedoms the US had commited to, will dissapear, specially for religious minorities. This will be frowned upon by the international community, and will make the US look
real bad.
Then, say for instance the US doesn't let the iraquis choose their own government. Is that the kind of freedom they promised? Well, that will create a lot of resentment against americans. Resentment, LD, is what fuels terrorist attacks. Maybe it wont happen straight away, or it might not happen in America itself, but its an undesirable thing.
