Saddam made millions off the food for oil program and the UN just kinda...winked at him over it.
The average Iraqi (most being Kurds or Shittes) does not have fond members of the Saddam regime. At the moment they don't like us to much either, or at least several thousand of them with guns don't like us to much at the moment. Sad to say, the assholes with guns are usually able to give more wieght (in the form of hot lead) to their opinions...
