Did Resolution 1441 mean the coalition were supposed to find the WMD in Iraq?
No the coalition were not supposed to find the WMD, the media may try to portray it that way, but not what is required by resolution 1441. The inspectors were there to view the evidence of them having been destroyed not to find them.Key points of resolution 1441

were meeting.

Did the coalition find WMD’s in Iraq?

with UNSCOM and its Chairman and to halt all UNSCOM's activities inside
Iraq, including monitoring. The Security Council, in a statement to the
press, unanimously condemn Iraq's decision to cease all cooperation with
UNSCOM.”

Do the poeple of Iraq want the Coalition to stay? And do they agree with the removing of Saddam Hussain
The people of Iraq have been polled by Oxford Research International many times since the liberation of Iraq. The polls show that the Iraqi people are positive about the removal of Saddam Hussein and the coalition in Iraq. The 2005 poll was less positive. No poll was done in 2006-2007, but one could guess that things would have been more neagative in 2006 early 2007, since the surge of late 2007 we have seen many tribal leaders have joined with the collation forces to rid Iraq of Al Quada. Deaths are down, loses to US forces are down and one could expect a more positive view again.Oxford Research International Poll 2003
