You are making different wrong assumptions. These same Muslims who see us as "infidels" fought RIGHT ALONG SIDE us in 1991, gave us their bases, and assisted us in every way.

All Muslims are not the same, any more than all Christians are the same. Ever hear of the "religious wars" in Europe? To the Catholics, Protestants were "heathens" and heretics, and to the Protestants, the Catholics were.

El Cid allied with Moors who were loyal to the King of Spain to drive out other Moors from Spain in the 1400s. There are countless examples.

YOU expected giant crowds of people with banners and American flags---but these people were betrayed in the 1990s. They won't forget that betrayal, but, equally important, they won't ignore the fact that WE ARE THERE TO HELP THEM NOW! They will cheer us, and sooner, rather than later.

Thanks for setting honway straight. The betrayal by the US must be fresh in the minds of those in the south but I doubt there is an honest citizen alive in Iraq, particularly Baghdad that does not pray for deliverance from the butcher.

The thought of killing them to save them is appalling and voiced too often these past few days.

It really hasn't sunk in yet, has it.

Muslims around the world celebrating in the streets after 9-11. Thousands of Muslims in the United States given the prior warning with general information about the 9-11 attack, and not a word to the infidels. Muslims in lawn chairs set up across the bay prior to the first airliner crashing in to the World Trade Center. Muslim children telling their school teachers about the 9-11 attack days before with comments like "World War III will begin on Tuesday and you will lose." and "you see those towers, they will not be there next week."

I know it is difficult to understand, but there are many Muslims that hate Americans more than they love freedom.
