I think it's different when a big foreign super power with a reputation for bullying comes in there and kills people. Look at Iran's anger for what we did in the 50s.
true. but in the 50's we deposed a representative government, installed a dictator, and privatized the state-held oil industry.
in iraq, we've disposed a dictator, will install a (more) representative government, and...ok, so we're going to privatize oil again...but if we institute the personal oil revenue accounts i think it nets out pretty well for individual iraqis...as well as being a bulwark against another kleptocratic regime
