You're so full of shit it's not even funny.
The "terrorists", if you could even call them that before the war started, didn't attack us. They didn't attack us.
A brief lists of the terrorists' attacks on the US and/or US citizens abroad:
1985 : Four Islamic terrorists hijack the Achille Lauro, and kill a disabled American tourist, 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer, and throw his body overboard with his wheelchair.
1986 : Islamic terrorists explode a bomb in West Berlin's La Belle disco, killing two US servicemen.
1993 : Islamic terrorists detonate a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center. The bomb was meant to topple the city's tallest tower onto its twin, amid a cloud of cyanide gas. Had the attack gone as planned, tens of thousands of Americans would have died. Instead, as we know, one tower did not fall on the other, and, rather than vaporizing, the cyanide gas burnt up in the heat of the explosion. "Only" six people died. The key figure responsible for building it--a man who had entered the United Stares on an Iraqi passport under the name of Ramzi Yousef.
1996 : Islamic terrorists exploded a fuel truck adjacent to Building #131 in the Khobar Towers housing complex. This eight story building mostly housed United States Air Force personnel from the 4404th Fighter Wing. In all, 19 U.S. servicemen and one Saudi were killed and 372 wounded.
1998: Osama bin Laden, leader of the Islamic terrorist group Al Quaeda, bombs U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people.
2000 : Islamic terrorists bomb the USS Cole, leaving 17 sailors confirmed or presumed dead, including Petty Officer 3rd Class Ronchester Santiago, 22, of Kingsville and Fireman Gary Swenchonis Jr., 26, of Rockport. Another 39 are reported injured.
2001: You have to ask?
And this doesn't even count the hostages in Iran (1978) or the dozens, if not hundreds, of Americans killed in terrorists attacks in Israel over the years.
My fault, I worded what I was trying to say wrong. I meant that most of the terrorists currently fighting in Iraq weren't terrorists before we attacked them.

I don't, but it is a fact that there were far less deaths during the last couple of years under Hussein's rule. Terrorist actions in the middle east have skyrocketed since 9/11. So it's safe to assume that a lot of these "insurgents" were just normal people. They were probably the equivalent of the militias in the US.

I dont' think I'd assume they were normal people prior to 9/11 just because they didn't do anything before that. Whose to say that this isn't all part of Bin Laden's plan, to first attach the US, knowing we'd retaliate, then to get his supporters to attack throughout the world. I say world because it's not just the Middle East, as this thread is proof of that.

Except that militias in the U.S. weren't organized and led by Al Qaida, and militias in the U.S. didn't engage in suicide bombings, beheadings, and slaughter of innocent civilians, including uncounted thousands of Iraqi citizens.
Al Qaida-led terror and bombings in Iraq have killed far more innocent Iraqis than American soldiers. Does this logically indicate an Iraqi-led resistance?
There would not be any resistance in Iraq, if not for external Al Qaida leadership and propaganda imported into Iraq.

Exactly! And don't think they don't get help from Al Gazaeara(sp). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they're in cahoots with Al-Quida and the rest of them.
