The outcome will depend on how many Muslims see Bush as the aggressor and the US as targets. Not just the Iraqi's because they?ll probably be glad to get rid of him.
A lot of Muslims idolize Saddam, because he shouts at the West and may and I repeat may do more. What he has done is murder over a million Muslims, both Sunni and Shiite. Also Kurds and anyone else he might dislike or distrust. He has waged a war that cost more lives because he used weapons of mass destruction. He has seen hundreds of thousands of his own people starve and die of disease and malnutrition because he thinks he can do what he likes in his own country while the rest of the world has to accept it and trade with him. This is the man some fanatics are ready to die for. How do you fight that thinking
Muslims in general idolize the warrior, this come from one of their profits/fighters who conquered a lot of Africa and the Middle East in the name of Allah. I forget his name, but he is held in high esteem.
The trouble will come not from Saddam?s army, but from Muslims living in London, New York or Berlin. How do you defend against them? Well ask the Israelis, they have the most practice and all they are up against is a rag bag army.
Bush is playing straight into the fanatics leaders hands. Bush is there best friend, they can put up Israel and the treatment of Palestinians, the expected invasion of a Muslim country as reason for these kids to strap bombs around there waist and walk into a crowded shopping center.
What Bush should be doing is playing the propaganda game and telling the Muslim world of what the Christian armies did in Balkans to protect Muslims. Getting Israel to give up it?s expansionist regime and force them to the bargain table. Helping and supporting Muslims, then selling it to them. You never win the hearts and minds of people by killing their neighbors.
