Well, of course not - because it is no longer a terror stronghold and is now becoming a beacon of hope for the long-suppressed Iraqi Shiite majority:

BAGHDAD, Iraq-- After years of sending their children to badly neglected, rundown, and outdated schools, the parents of school-aged children in Sadr City are finding hope. Through the combined efforts of the Iraqi Ministry of Education and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the renovation of thirty neighborhood schools will be completed by mid-February 2005. According to Travis Lynch, USACE project engineer, “Plans are in place to rekindle the country’s aging educational buildings.”

The kids who attend these schools will remember us - and they'll remember that we helped them. Sure, there is bound to be a less than perfect relationship between ourselves and the Iraqi people in future decades; they will downplay what we did and emphasise their own actions - but they will remember us. Saddam = degeneration/US = regeneration. We're building a better world, and the critics don't want any part of it.
