The time is growing near, so we will soon learn how grateful the Iraqi's will be. I personally think the majority will welcome us, but there will always be those till the end of time that won't. Just keep in mind the great success we had with Germany and Japan and Japan in particular, a society that was as culturally different as Mid Easterners are at this point in time.
