I have no doubt that some do. I would suspect the foreign nationals that have come to Iraq to fight against the US might think the same thing. I also believe that huge numbers of Iraqis are grateful we are there. I also beliee that Iraqis want the foreign nationals out of their country more than they want the US out.
To respond to NA, last time I checked there was massive escalation before we did anything in Iraq, with he exception of expelling them from Kuwait, of course. Do I really need to list all of the attacks against American targets that took place prior to the invasion?
It will escalate on their side no matter what our side does. So the choices are to fight back, give in tto their demands, or accept their continuing escalation without reprisal.
