as. You said...."If Arabs hate us so much why are we over there occupying one of their biggest countries?"......

Cuz the enemy are crazed suicidal religious nutbars.....have you forgotten 9/11? IMO it had become necessary to confront these crazies IN THEIR YARD or do nothing and permit them to get stronger. I'm sure you would go with the let them get stronger option but fortunately the USA has a president that has the courage to confront these nuts and no matter now who is president the war against islam terror will continue. They don't want to negotiate, the west has nothing they want. They want us all dead and that would include you unless of course you are of their religion.

More from the enemy...they really are nutty.

Iraq Qaeda leader defends slaying of Muslims -Web

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq defended the killing of "innocent Muslims" in suicide bombings against U.S. forces, saying it was legitimate under Islam for the sake of jihad (holy war), according to an audio tape attributed to him on Wednesday.

"The killing of infidels by any method including martyrdom (suicide) operations has been sanctified by many scholars even if it means killing innocent Muslims. This legality has been agreed upon ... so as not to disrupt jihad," Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said on the tape posted on an Islamist Web site.

The Jordanian militant, Washington's biggest foe in Iraq, quoted Muslim scholars to justify the loss of Muslim lives in suicide attacks in Iraq. His message appeared aimed at winning Sunni Muslim support for the insurgency.

"Protecting religion is more important than protecting (Muslim) lives, honour or wealth," said the man who sounded like Zarqawi. "The shedding of Muslim blood ... is allowed in order to avoid the greater evil of disrupting jihad."

The authenticity of the tape could not be verified and it was not clear when it was recorded.

More than 400 people have been killed in an escalating cycle of violence and suicide attacks since a new Iraqi government was named late last month. Zarqawi's group has claimed responsibility for most of those attacks.

The speaker said it was crucial to step up suicide attacks to weaken his enemy's modern military might. "These operations are our lethal weapons against the enemy.

"God knows that we were careful not to kill Muslims and we have called off many operations in the past to avoid losses ... but we cannot kill infidels without killing some Muslims. It is unavoidable," he added.

"We know that some mistakes may happen and victims may fall and this causes us grief, but what can we do in the face of this reality in which the enemy has penetrated our land."

He said Muslims killed unintentionally in such attacks were "martyrs who died for Islam".

The speaker blasted the Shi'ite Muslim community, calling them "rejectionists who fought alongside the worshippers of the cross and spearheaded every war against Muslims (Sunnis)".

Iraq's Sunnis lost power to the county's majority Shi'ites after the U.S. war toppled Saddam Hussein.

Addressing Iraq's Sunnis, the speaker added: "We are the spearhead of the Ummah (Sunni nation) and its first line of defence in the face of the crusaders' advance. If the jihad's power subsides then the Ummah will witness calamities and disasters."
