Did the marine bother asking the Iraqi why he felt that way?
Well yeah, starvation that killed over a million Iraqis and an invasion that may have killed up to 500,000 more will tend to make some extremists.
What's wrong with this picture?
"We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" and Albright replied "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it."

What does that have to do with his point? If huge numbers of Iraqis would kill an American on sight, it's very clearly a stupid idea to let them into the country.
You know this is true and that you're going on a non-sequitur. Downvoats will never make you right or fix your butthurt. Only the truth can do that.
Those Iraqis don't hold full, legitimate visas. The order didn't ban just refugees, it included people with green cards. That's a major contract from the US government, issued after an extensive and expensive application process. It's like your landlord breaking your lease, locking you out of your house and telling you no longer have a home for 90 days. It's breaking a contract America had already made with these visa holders.
