On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "NO! Jihad against that idea!" and 10 is "Praise Allah, Your will is being done!", how much do you think that Osama bin Laden and his ilk support having the US attack Iraq?
I'm guessing about 9, because he knows how much an infidel, imperial war against a Muslim nation will anger the 16 to 30 year old males that he wants to recruit around the world. Oh yeah, and it will up the price of oil, which means more money being funneled to him. Hmmm, and it will probably desabilize several neighboring countries, creating opportunities for his organization to operate. It would also distract the world from breaking up his organization. OK, I'm thinking more like 10 - maybe 11?
