Iraq is a means to an end, that end being the destruction of the US or driving us unto seclusion from the rest of the world. That's pretty much want they want. They could care less about Saddam or the people of Iraq. It's a nice cop-out to say "We're fighting because the infidels invaded Muslim soil". They only reason they care about Iraq is because if we win there it's a major blow to thier organization and could cause major changes in the Middle-east, but if THEY win Iraq would become huge safe-haven for them and a base of opperations. UBL and his cohorts attacked Brittian and Spain because they want to isolate us in Iraq, making it easier for them to fight us.
I would even go as far as to say that the terrorists don't even really care about religion, the top leaders anyway, except as far as that it allows them to more easily convert people to their way of thinking and to then use them to kill Americans. Terrorists don't like us, our society, or our form of government and they'll use anything they can to get rid of us or drive us into hiding. They don't really seem to care about Iraq or religion or anything really except that it allows them to more easily accomplish their goals. If they did, they wouldn't be slaughtering innocent children.
