There is no evidence that Iraq has had any terrorist involvement with al qaeda or with any terrorist plot against america. Well, not for years anyway. Osama bin laden hates Saddam. No evidence of collusion betwen the two.
Did I say a single word about collusion? No. In fact, thus far, every time you've said 'Osama doesn't work with Saddam' I have made certain to point out that I've not presented that argument as either true or relevant. Feel free to deny the connection one more time, but it doesn't address an argument I've made.
I said that Osama (and his ilk) blames the US for UN Sanctions on Iraq. Osama's follower's do the same. I presume that you understand that the fact that Osama hates Saddam does not force him to hate the people of Iraq.
Osama's own words:

I don't believe this. Do you seriously think that even talk about war against iraq is helping matters in this respect? Even Colin Powell believes that there is potential for destabilisation of the entire region because of a war. A lot of arab hatred also stems from US support for Israel. George Bush has NOT made the case for war whatever you might think. Look to that for another cause of hatred.
I believe that creating democracy in Iraq will help. You say 'destabilization' as if you intend that stability of evil tyrannies isn't a bad thing. You say 'Israel' as if I didn't list it as 1 of the 3 main sources of discontent that Osama bin Laden drew followers from. (just 2 posts ago wads...)
