Not at all. The US and UK conducted a cruel, illegal and unjust war on a helpless Third World country, murdering thousands of human beings and plunging 27 million people into misery and chaos. I myself would prefer a mass campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience, but I can't speak on behalf of ordinary Iraqis. They have as much right to pick up a gun as the farmers of Lexington in 1775.
