[B] If you're typical Iraqi citizen (not that I personally know), do you think you would still view the world in such a manner? If one of your family members was killed by an American bomb, or were detained and totured, would you still view the United States as "the good guys?"

Funny you should ask that. At the begining of World War Two the French had capitulated to the Germans. There was a real danger that the French Fleet based in Oran would be handed over to the Germans. The British demanded the surrender of the French who refused. The Royal Navy then attacked and sank the French Battle Fleet to prevent it from being taken over by the Germans. It was a sad day all around. Now to the point. My family have always considered the Brits to be on the side of right during WW II, or in other words the good guys. Our support for the Brits did not change because my French cousin died on the bridge of his ship that day.
