But in one sense, it seems you've got to ask do they owe us anything for their 'liberation'. Part of me says no...
ALL of me says no. They didn't ask to have their country destroyed by this war. They didn't ask anyone to come in and kill Saddam - we did that all by ourselves (well, don't forget poland!). They owe us nothing - if anything, it's the other way around.
In addition, they buried tons of dead people, including women, children and grandparents.
Estimates were running in the area of 200,000 "civilian" Iraqi casualties last time I spent any time studying this.
I have no idea why anyone thinks we're entitled to maintain any presence there whatsoever.
