From the only effort I've seen to determine how Iraqis feel:
"What ICG's field findings do say, rather, and in stark terms, is that a wide gulf separates the attitude of Iraqis from that of much of the rest of the world. For the international community, the principal question today is whether war should or should not be waged. For the Iraqi people, who since 1980 have lived through a devastating conflict with Iran, Desert Storm, a decade of sanctions, international isolation and periodic U.S./UK aerial attacks, a state of war has existed for two decades already. The question is not whether a war will take place. It is whether a state of war finally will be ended."
And while a "significant number of those Iraqis interviewed, with surprising candour, expressed their view that, if such a change required an American-led attack, they would support it" reservations about the
"opposition in exile, touted by some in the international community as the future foundation
of Iraq's political structure, is viewed with considerable suspicion and, in some instances, fear."
The reason for the latter being acknowledged by
at least one exiled Iraqi.
