| #10 I can tell you from first hand expierence, meaning I lived with the Iraqi Army, every suicide bomber we encountered was a foriegner. I will also tell you my troopers were quick to ID non nationals and hook them up, and about 98 times out of 100, they were bad guys. If you do not believe Iraq is the front line and it is better to have the chuckleheads blowing themselves up there, then let me know...I have some serious deals to make you.... |

| #9 good. Like they teach in hitting instruction: see the ball. Hit the ball. See the Arab. Shoot/arrest/detain the Arab. |

| #8 There are many, many other non-arab muslims who could say the same thing and repudiate mohamdism. Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, any country in Africa would/should be in the same boat. |

| #7 well JFM They have taken two important steps. Step 1 - remember when every time there was a spectacular bombing of civilians, the Iraqis would say, "whoever did this could not have been a moslem" or similar words; well they pretty well know better now Step2 - they used to blame Americans for everything; electricity down, pot holes in roads, etc. ; well they have finally figured out who is doing it to them Unfortunately it took them a long time to adjust to the facts; the steps you want them to take (and I would like these steps taken also) are much bigger steps |

| #6 Hopefully they will soon go into phase two "we are NOT stinking Arabs but the descendants of Mesopotamians, of Hammurabi and of the peole who invented math. Arabs were invadersé. And then into phase three/ "Islam was the tool for keeping us under Arab boot. We are neither Arabs nor Muslims". Panrabism leads naturally to islamism so it must be fought |

| #5 not just Arabs but Persians also and Paleos (who are have been in Iraq for a generation, so they are only semiforeign, doing dirty work for Baathists) |

| #4 It's Racism! ... no, they're the same race. It's anti-Muslim prejudice! -- no, they're all Muslims. It's, it's - self-preservation. Nah. Xenophobia, or "ultra-nationalism". |
