The closest real world example you could get would be the soviet resistance to the Nazi invasion, but since the Nazis were welcomed until it was learned they were worse than Stalin (at least worse than Stalin until after the war, then its very debatable) it doesn't work to compare it to Iraq.
So if I were an Iraqi citizen who knew anything about world history I'd be first in line to help the coalition.
There is no hypothetical comparision you can make to justify the terrorist attacks I'm afraid.

Please clarify your position on Nazis being welcomed in Russia (was there a reason you referred to them as Soviets - a government that did not yet exist?) My history texts seem to have omitted that rosie relationship.
