And half of them were Americans anyway.

The majority of Iraqis say they had things better under Saddam. They weren't free, but they had stability and safety. They had electricity, they had working oil stuff, they could go out on the street without fearing that they would be blown up. The only downside to the whole thing is that if Saddam decided he didnt like one of them, he or she was dead. If you kept your head down, you were safe.

Now, you have no such safety. People are blowing up houses, mosques, markets because of the Americans. People are not safe, and maybe will never be again.

The Americans and the Americans alone (well, okay, the Brits and allies too) took away that safety in return for the freedom to get shot at, blown up, and reduced to a statistic. Just another number in the death toll.
