The area is populated by Arabs that believe in the Koran. Of course they have Islamic Fundamentalists. I suppose the next thing you're going to argue is that Israel supports the Islamic Fundamentalists in the Occupied Territories, LOL.

You really think that Saddam has guerilla armies he doesn't approve of running around in Iraq? If so, we should be happy, his power is crumbling already. The reports I hear say that he still has a brutal police state that makes short work of opponents and wildcats. Give Saddam his due credit -- he doesn't put up with any such thing, unless it serves his interests.

The comparison to Israel is ridiculous. Israel has such a problem because it relinquished territory to the PA, who was supposed to keep order. Instead, the PA spent nine years coddling the Islamists.
