I don't quite understand your comment. Are you saying you think the US military would have enslaved and killed Iraqis if not for the insurgency and foreign invasion by al Qaeda? What would be the purpose of that? Do you know anyone in the US military?
BTW, some interesting ideas on war from Ayn Rand are below [ref: Wikipedia]. Read them first as they are, then with "Vietnam" replaced by "Iraq," and "Israel" replace by "America," and "Arab" and "communists" replaced by "Islamist." Rand opposed the stated reasons for U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War,[32] but also believed that unilateral American withdrawal would be a mistake of appeasement that would embolden communists and the Soviet Union.[31] Rand supported Israel during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, which she saw as an attack by a primitive society on a government that supported individual rights.

They were however invaded. If they had not united to fight the invader, they would most certainly be slaves or even more so dead, now. Goat gary popkin wrote: > > That's what George W.
