Actually, it
IS holy land if you're Muslim. Same way as the "Holy Land" (ie Jeruselem, Bethlehem, Nazareth etc) is known as... well, as the "Holy Land" to Christians.

Yes, if you ignore fact or do not feel threatened yourself Iraq was a swell place and attacked by an aggressive US.

What?
This is typical of the arguments made by supporters of Bush. Iraq was
NOT invaded because America was "still at war" with it. It was invaded (without UN sanction) because Bush lied to the world stating that it had WMD and was a threat to regional, American and global security. It didn't and it wasn't. No amount of squealing and squirming and trying to change the justification
after the fact will result in you or Bush's supporters from changing documented historical fact.
The "war" was a fake and America is now (very much unfortunately) suffering the consequences. Stating this simple fact is not anti-American by the way.

The United States a country they occupied Western Europe to keep the peaceful Soviets from spreading their love.

I have no idea what you mean by this, or what the Soviet Union has got to do with anything. I presume it's some kind of sarcasm, but it's lost on me unfortunately. I don't get it.
