Face it folks, anything the US does in the middle east is for the US's own benefit and for cheaper oil.
It is your lifeblood.
People either have to start giving up cheap oil and what it represents in their wealth and daily lives, or they have to buck up and quit worrying about how their government goes about getting it for them.
Policy changes according to who is in power and what the current situation is.
I don't think the majority were unhappy with the idea of the US helping Saddam fight the fundamentalist Islamic nation of Iran at the time.
I guess the events over there should be accompanied with the side note of "It seemed a good idea at the time" when relegated to the history books.
It's hard to set a standard to the world to represent a working democracy when you're also hip deep in other nations' problems.
