Yep, if sanctions pissed them off, then invasion should really rile them.

It's a funny thing though. Jihad needs an enemy, and I think they are happy to find one. In other words they are happy to be pissed off, for now they can go into battle and be a martyr.

Guess they won't be really be happy until we're all reading the Koran and our women are enslaved wearing burkahs.

This makes Islamic fundamentalism as dangerous to the world as Nazi supremacists. But Saddam was a secular tyrant. He didn't trust these religious fanatics either. Good thing we took Saddam out....right?

You think that the United States is trying to enslave the Iraqis? You read too much Ramsay Clark or Saddam - I won't accuse you of reading too much bin Laden, since you apparently have no idea why bin Laden declared jihad against the United States.

For over a decade, the Arab world has been feed, that the U.S. is committing genocide in Iraq...now that U.S. troops are in the country, it is clear to all, that the U.S. has no interest in committing genocide.

Since there are no plans to "enslave the Iraqis" why would that even be an issue?
