France's Vichy government vs. U.S. Iraq imposed government

Does anyone else see any similarity between the government being imposed on the conquered Iraq and the Vichy government during World War II?

If you look at it this way, one can understand why the Iraqi people would resent "Coalition" troops and U.S. control. The French partisans fought against the Vichy government in a manner similar to the Iraqi rebels (excluding al Qaeda and other groups that oppose the infidels) albeit not in so violent a manner with disregard for innocent life.
They targeted the collaborators for death just as the Iraqis are doing.

Vichy government: In World War II, the right-wing government of unoccupied France after the country's defeat by the Germans in June 1940, named after the spa town of Vichy, France, where the national assembly was based under Prime Minister Pétain until the liberation in 1944. Vichy France was that part of France not occupied by German troops until November 1942.

Authoritarian and collaborationist, the Vichy regime cooperated with the Germans even after they had moved to the unoccupied zone in November 1942. It imprisoned some 135,000 people, interned another 70,000, deported some 76,000 Jews, and sent 650,000 French workers to Germany.
