Artbrooks, but my sentence was unclear too. I could understand my own sentence much better with your 'and' added. Thanks.

Actually, with 'enemies' I both meant the former, Saddam + regime, and the present, not the demonstrating and understandably upset Iraqis, but the groups who feed on chaos and will kill foreigners (not only soldiers) brutally and Iraqis indsicriminately with bombs made to kill as many people as possible.
