if this country shared a border with Iraq.. first of all, Iraq would have belonged to this country a long time ago. As anti-US as they are, there's no way the American government would allow that to happen in its own backyard. Le'ts assume for some reason it did, it would be THEM coming into THIS country to stir some shit up for the most part. The fanatics are diehard about their cause, how about the rednecks, and religious right of America? How much do you think they're willing to give up? The Muslim fanatics are ready to die, they've been brainwashed into WANTING to die as a martyr. However, there would be some groups formed that might go in and pillage towns and kill off civilians as well. Ultimately, i think the Muslim fanatics are a lot more dedicated to their cause and would be more willing to go to extremes in this fight.
