[Vision2020] Nationalism In Iraq

[Bob Hoffmann]

OK, I gave a snippet of the interview, so let me now discuss this man's 
motivations:  He states no love for Sadaam, but hates the thought of a U.S. 
invasion and occupation more.  He will not fight for Sadaam; he will fight 
for an Iraq free from foreign occupation.  He presents this view as the 
reason the U.S. is facing such stiff resistance from irregular forces.

I can't find this specific interview easily, but it should be in the last 
week of programs broadcast by Democracy Now, http://www.democracynow.org/
