Najeeb al Nauimi, an attorney for 93 al Qaeda suspects imprisoned by the U.S. says:

Anything is better than [Saddam], and Iraqis have to be liberated from a dictator...

And this comes, moreover, from an Arab Nationalist, Qatar’s former justice minister.

More:

For now, the interests of the Iraqis coincide with those of the Americans, and the Iraqi people should take advantage of this before the Americans change their mind

Further:

"I don’t believe the silent majority in Iraq will back the regime in their heart," says Hala Mustafa, a political analyst at the Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, a prominent think tank in Cairo. "We expect that they won’t object to American interference there."

And:

Shafeeq al Ghabra, the outspoken director of the Kuwait University Center for Strategic and Future Studies, agrees. “The status quo is dangerous — it has gotten us to the lowest point in the history of the Arab and Islamic worlds,” he says. “If democracy has not worked in this region from the inside, maybe it can be made to work from the outside.”

Granted, the article also points out that there will be resentments, anti-American violence, and a divergence of interests after Saddam is gone. But what else is new?
