Did people in these countries other than Iraq respond to their liberation the way the Iraqis are? Please do not forget, signing of armistice agreements are not synonymous with peace. For example, Hostilities continued after "cease fire" agreements with both Germany and Japan. The US did not sign a peace treaty with Japan until Sep 8, 1951. In Germany, guerrilla NAZI activity continued for years. No formal post WWII peace treaty was ever signed with Germany, arguably, this occurred defacto with the establishment of NATO.
There are plenty of South Koreans who are none to happy with America's continued presence in their country.
"Liberated" enemies do not lose their fight overnight.
