It was a video so I couldn't see it, but I do remember that the toppling of the statue was a staged event, not a spontaneous uprising by the populace. The same PR people appeared in many staged events at the beginning of the Invasion to make people think that the general population was against Saddam. Not necessarily true, as events have retrospectively verified.
We upset their stability. Life under Saddam sucked, but it was a stable suck.

"If I was a criminal I would kill them with my bare hands". You wouldn't kill anyone! 15 members of your family were killed by Saddam and you were jailed for a year and a half, then Saddam was taken out by the U.S. and you were handed a democracy on a silver platter and did nothing with it.
I can see you actually believe that but what he was handed was a cluster****.
Not all people had large numbers of family members imprison and/or murdered by the state. Far from it. And under Saddam there wasn't constant fighting and shelling as has been happening in their lives for several years now.Yeah, get 15 members of your family murdered and thrown in jail suck. I really think most Iraqi's are terrified of freedom...like Brooks from Shawshank Redemption.

Iraq wouldn't have become the hellhole that it is now had America installed the right leadership.
