Hawk, that was an easy question: <
Why was the Iraqi Air Force, in a Top Secret memo from March, 2001, recruiting pilots for a suicide mission??

Top secret memoranda sent to Al-Kadisseiya Military branch No.2205 dated 04/03/2001 and to the Headquarters of Zee karr military branch No. 246 dated: 08/03/2001 that we were informed by another memo from Ali Unit military branch No. 154 dated: 10/03/2001. We urge you to inform the above mentioned unit of the names of people wishing to volunteer for suicide action to liberate Palestine and strike American interests according to the following below for your information and to let us know.

The bloke who was ranting about it got three translations and surprise, surprise, they came out more or less the same.

I am in London [England] and saw an Underground station with Sherlock Holmes profiles all over it. I am somewhat of an international Sherlock myself and I noticed that in none of those translations did a dog bark. Hence, we can deduce that the original was written by the non-existent and disbanded USA official Office of Disinformation. It was written in 2004. Which was after the OoD was disbanded, backdated to 2001 BEFORE it was even formed, which was a very good way of putting most people off the scent.

Surely you have some more difficult questions than that one Hawk?

Similarly, the one about where did all the antagonistic Iraqis suddenly come from. When one kills, injures, puts boot on neck, terrifies, bullies or otherwise offers indignities and gratuitous dominance to somebody, you don't just disturb the psychic equilibrium of that person, you ruffle a whole flock of feathers.

And it isn't just the immediate family. Nor even just the wider tribe. The old six degrees of separation business kicks in and anyone who has reasonably shared identity with that person gets bad vibes, and gets negative feelings towards the perpetrator.

So now you know where the thousands of angry people came from. There have been many thousands killed, then there are those maimed, or hurt, or offended etc. I can understand why there would be substantial opposition to the COW occupation, apart from the basic conflict over who gets the oil, the money and the power, not to mention the girls. That's enough to keep a very good conflict going.

It's similar to the feeling around the world that the mass murder in the Twin Towers wasn't just an attack on those individuals. What's nice to know is that a good proportion of those who have been attacked by the COW, including "innocent" civilians, thought "Good job!" as the Twin Towers fell. It's a bit like I got satisfaction from knowing that some of the people in the Twin Towers were IRA-supporting "Irish American" firemen. There's poetic justice and karma in profusion. It's all quite Shakespearian really. We can go back to the young couple killed on the bridge in Sarajevo, one from each side of the divide. In Shakespearian tragedies, I don't remember much and only read any because to do engineering one was forced to learn Shakespeare [educationalists have gross brain deficits - I note that to study English literature at university, one isn't obliged to understand calculus, which confirms the educationalists are unfit for purpose]. But back to the Shakespearian bit, what I do recall is that everyone seemed to end up dead.
