Why are they not hating Russia if Israel was the real reason?
I think it is a matter of priority and real polotik. I don't think the Arab world has deep love for the Russians. Neither do the Russian Jews I know. The Soviet empire made a lot of enemies. I would imagine many Iraqi's are glad to Saddam go if indeed he is gone. I don't see Iraqi's dancing in the streets or the throwing of flowers at our tropps in any significant numbers anywhere in Iraq and none in Baghdad. I imaging many Iraqi's welcome arms and help from the Russians to fight us as we are the biggest immediate threat today. If we leave the region I am sure they would be glad to turn those same weapons on the Russians if they are still in the region.
