Resistance is a word normally used to indicate irregular forces. Saddam had allowed for the invasion of Iraq, by technically superior forces, by caching weapons and supplies well before the first soldier crossed the border.

The figures given are misleading, even by using admittedly "grand" definitions, the actual number of International Terror incidents between 1980 and 1999 is 76. Check it out in your own link.
