No
They just hate US and what it represents, not the people themselves.
They are actually jealous of what they perceive as the wealth

I would accept our involvement if we acted like it was a war.
It's a war to the other side.
In a war, if you're getting fired on from a building, especially if it's from more than one floor in the building, you don't go in and try to get the person or persons - you call in the airstrike and you demolish the building.
This is what we did in Germany and Japan. It's also what we did in the countries that Germany and Japan had occupied. Nobody had a problem with it.
If we go to war than we should do that.
If we're not prepared to do that then we should not go to war.
But it's too late to revisit this now.
People say the war is unwinnable - no war is unwinnable. Physically speaking no war is unwinnable. We have discovered that winning the war would require doing things that are politically inconvenient. We did not expect this to be the case when we entered the war, but now we realize it is.
There is, then, only one solution - do those things.

Most do not know the difference between Evangelical Christian, Catholic, Protestant, or Universalist Unitarian.
It's all non-Muslim to them it makes no difference.
Besides, do you think the bombs would sound better to them coming from a fellow Muslim? They already get plenty of those and they're not getting any happier...

I think they might have been more accepting to our help if we didn't go in there and bomb the crapola out of them, ruin their infrastructure, cause the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and, most important - get the he11 out of their country.
I don't think they give a hoot what religion that madman in Washington espouses.

His being a Christian is part of the problem, I think due to their beliefs. If we would put things in order, like their homes, infrastructure and a sane government, they would be more than glad to have no USA involvement.

Hate to say this, but the Iraqis are very accepting of our involvement. They don't want us there any longer than necessary, but they know they need us there right now. So your question is moot.

They don't care if he's Evangelical, Lutheran, Catholic, or anything Christian. The only way they'd accept US involvement would be if the US shared the same beliefs.

It sure doesn't help the situation. Especially since most fundies think the end times are coming within the next 50 years.

It has nothing to do with Christians.
Muslims in the middle east are like pre-historic apes, they don't value anything. Killing is what they do and they like it, 1,000 years from now they will still be killing each other and liking it.

No, I don't think the average person over there knows or cares what religion George W. Bush is. All they know is he is not Muslim.
