You're probably right....I hadn't thought about that...but, there probably will be many Iraqis hiding for months after we've gotten rid of Saddam and his ilk.

From the reports coming in, the fedayeen are at least half non-Iraqi (Bob Arnott reported this today)--they're coming in from Syria and Jordan (probably Palestinians, probably Hamas and Hezbollah), Sudan, Egypt and other countries with large Sunni populations--and a possibility some are al Qaeda or with al Qaeda affiliated groups. Arnott reported these were the fiercest fighters, probably because they aren't from Iraq, have no place to go home to and define natural born killers.

And speaking of terrorists:

I heard that, perhaps by Arnott the other day.....desparate people with hatred in their hearts are capable of doing the most evil and wicked things.

This may be a good thing; let all the Bad Guys get together in one place; it'll make our targeting easier...

To what extent is the Arab "street" hysteria (the street demos are only in Sunni countries)motivated by realization that the Sunnis will lose influence to Shiites in oil-rich Iraq?
