The excuse from the Pentagon (appropriately shaped -- upside-down) was that the citizens of Iraq should have overthrown their dictator all on their own. Of course, that's easier said than done. Good luck trying to overthrow the US government. Clinton was impeached, yet he continued to stay in office until the end of his last term.
Due to their lack of ability to overthrow their government (assuming they wanted to in the first place) that is why they must pay.
I find it interesting that the same govt. (US) that urges (Iraqi) citizens to overthrow their government is the same one that jails its citizens because they object to what's going on.
I find it hard to reconcile claims that Saddam is a dictator with the reality that Iraqi people have far more gun freedoms under Saddamn than US citizens do in this country.
