I am a little confused as to what you exactly mean by the point I made, and I am not sure if you even addressed my point to be exact.
You talked about our oppressive tax measures, when our lack of tax oppression is what allows us to be so successful. It is also what allows us to be so prosperous that we can have relatively low tax percentages and generate enough income to put more money into the government than otherwise, which allows us to give more money in foreign aid to third world countries than anybody else. The third world countries are the way they are because they are so far from having our type of system.

Most of the people in Iraq do not not feel the way you described. They don't like the temporary occupation, but it is the brainwashed Islamofascists who think we are doing the work of Satan and want to kill us.
