My country is my country. If I were invaded by anyone, even the Brits or the Australians, even for reasons believed to be noble by the invaders I would still arm myself and head for the hills. I would be defending myself and family, not the President.

Women with guns who are defending their homes and families is just that. They aren't justifying or agreeing with Saddam's willingness to use gas on ethnic populations in his own country. Saddam's hand picked republican guard have been documented putting on captured American uniforms and then shooting their own countrymen and women. Why? Perhaps to fomment hatred would be my guess.

The causes of war are alway many and varied. People are always killed. This one is no different in many ways. And in some ways it is unique. We are truly fighting a madman who has brainwashed his population. They know what they have with Saddam and not what they have with us. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't perhaps. The best thing we can do is cotinue to treat people once captured or liberated as humane beings and allow good actions to speak louder than lies.
