Wrong.
"Hundreds of Iraqis shouting 'Welcome to Iraq' greeted Marines who
entered the town of Shatra Monday... Says one young man: "There's no
problem here. We are happy to see Americans."

"The welcome they had hoped for finally greeted American troops
yesterday, as waving Iraqis lined the streets when the advance
northwards to Baghdad was resumed," reports the Daily Telegraph from
central Iraq.

They received a warm welcome from the members of the 30,000-strong
population, with children and adults giving the thumbs-up, smiling and
shouting "Mister, mister, England good".

Iraqis Say They Were Better Off Under Hussein
January 03, 2007
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Many adults in Iraq believe the
coalition effort has been negative, according to a poll by the
Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies and the Gulf
Research Center. 90 per cent of respondents think the situation
in their country was better before the U.S.- led invasion.
