Do you honestly think that the Russians wanted peace? No, they wanted power. The Russians also did not want to save lives.
Do you honestly believe "we" are there for any other reason than geopolitical power? You should be more skeptical about all those press releases you've been reading (and believing).

We have gained the trust of the majority of Iraqi and Afgani nationals. I say that in this war we have taken a huge step.... we have opened the eyes of the blind, and given them a chance to embrass freedom. That is more then many countries can ask for.
You're on some sort of demoscopic acid trip, Hell. Can you provide a single shred of evidence for your views?

On the contrary: BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iraq poll 2007: In graphics

"(...) Support for the coalition forces based in Iraq is low - with 82% expressing a lack of confidence in them and 69% thinking they had made the security situation worse. (...) The belief that the US-led coalition was wrong to have invaded Iraq in 2003 has steadily increased since 2004. (...)"
