Brute force is a lousy way to solve mankind's problems. Unfortunately our Government was mistaken in many assumptions about Iraq, and Iraqis and Americans are paying for it.
But the facts of the issue are not as simple as you claim. Iraqi's are not a homogeneous people, and under Saddam the majority of Iraqis had no hope for a better life of their children. Only those loyal to Saddam prospered.
The deposed Iraqis are quite happy to massacre fellow Iraqis to regain power, and Islamic fundamentalists believe they are fighting a Jihad against Infidel and "Zionist" crusaders.
