Is it not possible that Iraqi's are realizing the cure is worse than the disease? Why should they be grateful to Bush for leading an army that killed what must be at least one hundred thousand of his compatriots? They did not ask for this war, they did not want this war, and right now the people being interviewed feel they are worse off because of it. Maybe happened to their soccer team under Saddam pales to what all of his countrymen are facing now. How can you pretend that you know what is best for them? America invaded their country, why should they appreciate that?

As Cow pointed out ... look at the difference.
I can understand a villager that has had their family wiped out by a US bomb that missed their mark, but the soccer team has specifically benefited from the war given they've gone from potentially murdered or tortured for losing to competing like everyone else.
They have every right to ask not be used in a political campaign, but it comes across as preprogramed hatred to me, and not a rational way to perceive the effects on the Hussein removal on their own lives.
