Only if you have hacked Squid not to change user id.. by default Squid
always changes to a non-privileged user upon startup, and refuses to
start if it can't.

Modifying the kernel to allow Squid running as a non-privileged user to
initiate foreign sessions is strongly recommended in favor of modifying
Squid to run as root..
