Perhaps they are "afraid of" death and destruction at the hands of poor working class foreign troops from a country that has the most imprisoned population in the world sent to find
Weapons of Mass destruction that never existed except the ones previously sold to their dictator (to gas his own people) by the now invading foreign Govt ?
Perhaps people who live in glass Empires shouldn't throw stones?
"Jesus killed Mohammed" Harpers Magazine.
" They were snickering like schoolboys. They had commissioned the Special Forces interpreter, an Iraqi from Texas, to paint a legend across their Bradleys armor, in giant red Arabic script.
Whats it mean? asked Humphrey.
Jesus killed Mohammed, one of the men told him. The soldiers guffawed. JESUS KILLED MOHAMMED was about to cruise into the Iraqi night.
The Bradley, a tracked tank killer armed with a cannon and missilesto most eyes, indistinguishable from a tank itselfrolled out. The Iraqi interpreter took to the roof, bullhorn in hand. The sun was setting. Humphrey heard the keen of the call to prayer, then the crackle of the bullhorn with the interpreter answeringin Arabic, then in English for the troops, insulting the prophet. Humphreys men loved it. They were young guys, you know? says Humphrey. They were scared. A Special Forces officer stood next to the interpretera big, tall, blond, grinning type, says Humphrey.
Jesus kill Mohammed! chanted the interpreter. Jesus kill Mohammed!
A head emerged from a window to answer, somebody fired on the roof, and the Special Forces man directed a response from an MK-19 grenade launcher. Boom, remembers Humphrey. The head and the window and the wall around it disappeared.
Jesus kill Mohammed! Another head, another shot. Boom. Jesus kill Mohammed! Boom. In the distance, Humphrey heard the static of AK fire and the thud of RPGs..........."
Yea...right..."no relationship".........Muhammed wasn't motivated by oil and excusing his "invade and conquer other tribes in order to impose" 'democracy' with lies about WMDs.
