Well, I think Saddam and the Baathists in general killed upwards of 1 million communists and trade union organisers - and they are usually the roots of most successful protest (in my extremely biased opinion...

Also remember that a plea was made to the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people - to ignore them now is the icing on the cake as far as the injustive they have suffered is concerned. Ultimately you can't invade a country for the benefit of the inhabitants and then ignore them when they tell you how they want it run.
