By the way, we're not in Iraq to be "loved." We're there to get a job done.
If the Iraqis respect and accept whatever leadership and government they choose for themselves, and end up with a system that respects human rights and rejects terrorism and expansionism, then frankly I don't really give a rat's ass what they end up thinking of Americans. One hopes that they at least retain a sense of neutrality toward us, if not friendship, but you take what you can get.
