“As for muslims individually they are helping as much as possible in places”
What a pile of unmittigated crap. Most extremist Muslims and their countries are spectators, tourists, not participants in Iraq. You are more than happy to see more Muslims die, so long as they take some Americans with them. You are far more interested in mouthing protests than doing work in Iraq. Watching Al-Jazeera, screaming Jihad in your living room and hoping that the US fails does not count as “helping as much as possible”…
Tell you what, do not help police the country, help the UN with elections. Have volunteers ready to man the polls, collect names of registered voters, and certify the elections as free and fair. Certainly Muslim countries could do this. The only problem is, after having helped with elections, many volunteers would then return home to countries where there are no free and fair elections…
So who are the real heros of iraq? Read on:
"No leaders, no goals, no future—what do Sunnis hope to gain from the violence?
Honor. Forget political or social objectives—or even attempts to “drive out” the Coalition. By killing GIs and Iraqi civilians, Sunni terrorists feel they are reclaiming the pride they lost when the U.S. military juggernaut crushed their miserable fiefdom. This explains the sense of desperation one detects in their complaints about the U.S., as well as their lack of interest in ideology, propaganda, leadership or anything that normally characterizes a true “resistance movement.” The goal of these criminals is simply to kill: a non-negotiable position that allow an enemy no chance for accommodation or truce—only withdrawal or death.
Unable to grasp such irrationality, the press insists on bestowing a more acceptable motive to the death squads stalking the Sunni Triangle. They are “guerrillas,” we read, waging a war of “resistance” against Coalition “occupiers”—as if they were an Arab version of the French maquis or the Viet Cong. The gunmen are happy to have an obliging media grant them legitimacy and offer justification for their atrocities. As the Israelis discovered with the PLO—another humiliated bandit-gang transformed into a national liberation movement by the media—even a democracy can lose the moral high ground to corrupt insurgents posing as the representatives of an oppressed people..
The real resistance in Iraq are the countless individuals attempting to build democratic institutions in their nation. They are true revolutionaries, bringing unprecedented change to the Arab world. With their bellicose religion, feeble political structures and government-controlled press, Arab peoples have all too often used violence to signal their needs, desires and grievances: terrorism, rather than peaceful protest, cultural achievement or economic competition has become the means they assert their cultural identity. And the more violence, the truer, more authentic they feel in their deepest selves—leading to that pure form of nihilistic self-expression, the suicide bomber."
