Reply #24: "Everybody hates America now because of the policies of President Bush"

[bloom]

"Everybody hates America now because of the policies of President Bush," he (Sheikh Dhafer )said, "and his own people condemn him, so what can we do? What can we say? What are the limits of our response? What are the rights of the Iraqi people?" He then answered his queries, saying there was no action the Iraqis could not take against the Americans. "They slaughtered the Geneva Accords that we were insisting upon every Friday in our mosques, and they killed human rights. This is the tragedy of the Islamic world that we experience here in Iraq, but the gates of victory for all the Islamic world have been opened in Fallujah and victory will never stop as our Prophet has predicted. All the world can recognize now that Fallujah beat the US. This is Islam our religion and state, this is the Islam of Mohammed." Dhafer warned that "after the enemy lost his battle with us he has begun planting strife and spreading rumors".

I don't think the Iraqis want to be at war with us. I think they would rather us leave. But that doesn't mean there are not others who rejoice at the growing war between the US and some in the Arab world.
