They are the eyes of hatred -- of men who say they will do anything it takes to kill Americans and drive them out of Iraq.

<snip>

They call themselves "Islamic Free Iraq" and brandish their weapons to show their determination. But the men say they are neither Islamic fundamentalists nor Saddam loyalists -- in fact they say they hated Saddam -- as they now hate the U.S.

"America is doing exactly what Saddam did to this country. Saddam and his family looted and destroyed. Americans are doing the same thing. Saddam took the oil for himself. Now the oil is for the Americans," said another.

It is impossible to say exactly who these men were, but they were clearly not dirt-poor zealots. Pictures shot with a hidden camera showed a street in a middle class neighborhood, a comfortable home with traces of gentility, a glimpse of what appeared to be wives and children -- some of whom seemed ready to follow in their fathers' footsteps playing and posing with guns and ammunition.

1. uh, dan? they're freedom fighters and patriots.

trying to drive an oppresive invader that has come to steal their resouces and subvert their culture from their country, as anyone who would lose their anglo-centric outlook for half a minute could clearly see.

lest we forget, he last time an imperialist country invaded a sovereign nation to steal their resources and subvert their culture, the US aided the resistance movement. when the US started giving the mujahadeen stinger shoulder fired SAMs, it turned the tide and started the russian on their slide out of afghanistan.

ah well, what do you expect from a supposed 'journalist' that broke down and wept and declared eternal fealty to whistle-ass on letterman after sept 11.
