but the goal of these fighters is to take Iraq for Al Qaida. I find it hard to believe that you'd rather see Bin Laden rule Iraq than the Iraqi people through elections.

No. Their goal is to take Iraq for themselves. The Iraqis don't want Bin Laden in power any more than they want Americans. They want Iraqis (who don't support Americans) in power.

Also, take the flamewar to email or IRC.
