An enemy of the Bush family, yes. But an enemy of the American people? Of you? A threat?
I don't think so.

Iraq was an Enemy of America because America was still at war with Iraq. Iraq's failure to meet its obligations under the ceasefire agreement that the Iraqi government signed caused US troops to be stationed in Saudi Arabia.
One of the major reasons stated by Al Quida for the attacks on 9/11 was the fact that the US had troops in Saudi Arabia (They labeled it a holy land or some such)
Yes, if you ignore fact or do not feel threatened yourself Iraq was a swell place and attacked by an aggressive US. The United States a country they occupied Western Europe to keep the peaceful Soviets from spreading their love.
