Very few muslims were happy about the attack on the WTC... but if push came to shove, most Iraqi's would probably point out that over 5 times as mandy Iraqi civilians have been killed in the present war than civilians died when Saudi terrorists attacked the WTC.
My own view is that the murder of civilians, the use of torture as a method of war, is wrong whoever practices it.... whether it is in Americn prisons, or carried out by Iraqi insurgents. If you wish to claim any moral basis for the war, surely you cannot take your morality from the enemy? If Saddam is a torturer (which he was), and so you say we must use torture when we fight him... how is their any moral basis? Do we take our moral standards from the worst of our enemies now?
