You pretend to know a lot about how the Iraqi's think. The Iraqi exiles have more credibility than you. They are saying that Sadaam changed his methods after the Gulf War because all of the surrenders and celebrations by town people when we entered their towns. This time he inserted his paramilitary into regular army units to prevent surrender. In towns with this element has been removed, they cheer for us once again. This is what is happening. They might not trust some of our interests, but they know they are free once again and no longer have to live in fear.
btw, there are at least as many Iraqi exiles who oppose this war as support it. But it is the ones who support it that are trundled in front of the media. Hate for Saddam doesn't necessarily translate into support for this war.
The Shi'ite leaders in the south are telling their people not to support the USA. This has been observed by foreign journalists and confirmed by the contacts that exiles from this region have with people at home. I am not basing my opinions simply on my own guesses.
