Arab League

[Memnoch1207]

This is just my opinion of course, all other opinions or debates on this subject are welcome.

I am under the assumption that the Arab League Nations, however strongly they support Iraq as a country, do not support saddam Hussein. Why? If the arab countries did in fact strongly support keeping Saddam in power, I suspect we (meaning the coalition) would would have faced much stiffer opposition, possibly even threats before the war began. I believe these arab nations stand behind the iraqi people (civilians), and truly are concerned for their safety, but at the same time are not really that concerned about Saddam as a leader. I think they secretly want Saddam out of power, while maintaining the security and safety of the (innocent) citizens of Iraq.

Which allows these nations the ability to publicly oppose the war, while secretly praising it for the objectives it is trying to meet. Without having to face the possible repercussions of terrorism.

Thats an ideal situation. Terrorists often recruit people without the consent or approval of the nation they operate within. If you find a 17 year old guy, who has never had any free access to information, no internet, no nothing. Show that guy a few pictures of Iraqis who died in the war, tell him America killed them and that there will be a bunch of virgins waiting for him in heaven if he blows up americans. There you have your next terrorist.
