Iran & Iraq hate each other. If Iran were to counter attack U.S. forces in Iraq would Iraqis see it as an Invasion?

1. I doubt it.
I would sooner expect Iraq & Iran against the U.S., but what do I know.

2. My guess is they are hating each other less and less
as they see the BFEE's intentions more clearly. We could end up uniting the two countries.

3. No. Because then the religions will unite with no loyalty to country.

The End Timers will have the Holy War of their dreams. The Muslim world will be united against Bushworld.

6. I would be surprised if Iraq and Iran are not already working together
Clearly they have a common enemy.

5. There's at least a chance that the Iraqi Shia will join or coordinate with
the Iranian Shia majority. The geopolitics of that area aren't (to me anyway) subject to any rational analysis. Loyalties there shift almost as much as our own do over time.

8. There is one thing the Shia and Sunni in that area have in common
They all hate the US.

9. Did it work for Saddam?
No. And you are incorrect. Not all Iraqis hate Iran.
