re: Of course it does
The terrorists are not afraid of the US troops nor to die. All those suicide bombers are there to proove it.
They're being fed with the most dangerous religious integrism, thanks to the reigning chaos and the vacuum of power.
But it's certainly a tiny fraction of the population thinking like that. Same proportion as the Palestinian terrorists, perhaps.
Remains to be seen how the Iraqi army, loyal to the government, is facing the Islamic army.
