No, I am talking about the general populace. Start popping off their clerics and they are likely to resent their occupation even more.
I dont see that those clerics are acting criminally. I see them rousing resistance to foreign occupation. If my country was invaded and then occupied and a puppet government installed I would hope there might be at least some attempt on our part to resist that occupation. Just as the french resisted the German occupation, just as almost every occupied people have tried to resist. Just because this time we are the occupiers does not make the occupiers the good guys.

First, why not start cleaning up around our own house?
Let's "pop-off" a few of our own crazy radical clerics first:

Although I have a really hard time considering my choice to be religious in any sense of the word, I would like to nominate Fred Phelps, Topeka psychotic "minister" who is well-known for tormenting the families of deceased AIDS victims at their funerals, among other things. I think dispatching Fred to whatever his personal vision of Heaven may be would benefit humanity in general.

i'm simply wondering why they didn't have the conviction or intestinal fortitude to stand up and inspire the people to fight against saddam and the boys who were raping, murdering, and robbing them blind. they seem to have saved all of their righteous indignation for the folks who fought and gave them the freedoms they now enjoy... freedoms such as the right to tell their people to fight us.
