Yes, they are fighting for their homeland.
lol
Man can't wait to hear the stories from the Iraqi's forced to fight. Heck they are already coming out. The only people fighting are the thug's who have everything to lose and the people forced to.

So people forced to fight should be subject to abusive comments?
Just because we don't understand their way of life and the way they think, obviously we are right and they are wrong? Our way of life is correct and theirs is not?
Do we even attempt to understand them or even care or are we so caught up in our own righteousnes and self worth that the defense of your home is suddenly a crime.
Many do not agree with Saddam, but take enough pride in their way of life, culture, religion and beliefs to stand by those same values even if it means dying in the process, because that is all they have. It would seem that some find this funny. Perhaps if we, as citizens of the west, demonstrated the kind of courage and dedication to our beliefs that the Iraqis do, we'd be much better off.
A man isn't much of a man if he can't stand up for his beliefs and principles.
