Indeed... I think that's probably the miscalculation made by many people; the Iraqi population isn't unanimous in their support of the idea that the US and the UK should "liberate" them with a war... And putting that aside, the "invaders" will most likely have the media bias against them in Iraq just the same. Most of them probably never heard a single positive word about the US and the UK in the press, or at least not in the last few months; I wouldn't expect them to trust the US and UK soldiers right away either.
