No and No.

Let me break it down this way:

There are a lot of people in this world who've known war every day of their lives, have seen their brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers killed . . .some of them are called Palestenians, some of them are called Afghanis, and quite a few of the more than 1 BILLION Muslims in the world are sympathetic to their cries, and rightly or wrongly hold the USA responsible for their pain and don't want to see it continue.

Another commonly held perception among Third World Muslims is that Iraq has seen 500,000 children die from malnutrition as a result of the economic sanctions we've imposed on Iraq. Rightly or wrongly, they believe this and their perception is their reality.

Now I ask you, how do you think all those Muslims would respond if we turned Bagdad into Babylon?
