Stating the obvious, he writes, To the forces loyal to Saddam, the United States is the enemy. The United States invaded their country and continues to occupy it. While they are not pleased that the Shia majority is forming a government, the Shiites didn't bomb them, the Shiites didn't invade their country. There would be a much greater chance that they would lay down their arms and re-join Iraqi society if the United States were gone. So why then do the terrorists keep indiscriminately killing Iraqis by bombing Shia mosques, security forces sites, markets... etc? If the above assertion were ture then the terrorists would be killing Americans, exclusively if possible. Instead, they are blowing up anything that represents progress toward a free Iraq. Perhaps the author didn't major in logic.
