One small problem with the conceit that the Martians represent Americans invading Iraq is that the story was written by H.G. Wells in 1898.

The American invasion of Iraq wasn't a big issue then, since it was more than 100 years in the future...

Wells' original novel was a metaphor for anti colonialist attitudes. It was such a crackling good story that the message was overwhelmed. If this flick is as poorly done as Spielberg's Into the West series then all we'll have to talk about is the message. I think that's what they are afraid of. Unless you are Michael Moore, movies whose whole purpose is propaganda tank big time.
