Osama used those bases as propaganda to show Muslims how we were "occupying" the Sacred Lands (Saudi Arabia).

You're kidding me, right? The occupation of ALL of Iraq is of no propaganda value to bin Laden? If that's the case, who are all these guys we're fighting over there, anyway?

If you're going to count war casualties on both sides for Hussein in the Iran-Iraq War, do it for this war, too. But I don't think we should count military deaths for either conflict. The main point is that it's kind of dangerous for your average Habib to go out in Baghdad today for a pack of smokes, that didn't used to be the case.

And the vast majority of those dying today come from Muslim killing Muslim.

That's precisely my point.

Oh BS!

Nice try, but a lot more died by Saddam's hands. Not even close. Millions under Saddam. Millions are a lot more than thousands.

BTW, you asked for one good thing, which I gave you. If you've ever been to the paradise known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you'd know just what I meant.
