Iraq's resistance to American rule might not end with Saddam's downfall, even if its armed forces are destroyed. Iraqis could mount a sustained campaign of stubborn, sullen and sometimes violent resistance to an alien occupying force. There is an Arabic word for it. They call it intifada. And like their Palestinian brethren, Iraqis resisting a US occupation might not fight alone. Their stand against the coalition must already be stirring the hearts of Arabs and Muslims around the world - eclipsing Egypt's temporary success in the first week of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war to become the most noteworthy resistance of an Arab army against Western forces in modern times. A US-occupied Iraq could become like Afghanistan under Soviet occupation, a focus for Arab and Islamic resentment of the West, and a magnet for violent fundamentalists.
