Wahabbi's do not live in Iraq. In fact, the Iraqi regime is extremely secular by Middle East standards. Once the U.S. establishes control of Iraq (a dubious proposition at best) what do you suggest it "do" there? Bring democracy? Tell me another one. The likely result is a decades-long occupation, billions spent in nation-building, followed by failure and withdrawal...and yet another tinpot dictator.

Like I said I don' view Iraq as the main enemy I view Saudi Arabia and then Iran as the main enemy( although with Iran just the government not the civilian population with Saudi the entire population has to be considered hostile).
