Why do so many people in the world admire the Insurgents?

Most people don't like the idea of big Imperial powers invading small countries. The fact that our "originally" given reason to the world for invading, WMD's has proven to be bogus, if not a hoax, makes people root for the people being occupied. \n\nLike we rooted for the Kuwaitis when Saddam invaded them. \nAnd backed the Taliban and Mujhadeen when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.

It may be because they will have a lot of backing from the US and other western nations/business/contractors. The US will look very foolish if Iraq fails economically so every step will be taken to guide them into prosperity. \n\nHowever, insurgency and other threats may seek to stall growth there which of course would make it a poor investment. \n\nIf the people view economic growth as a prosper for Iraqis and Muslims, then they will allow it to grow with US guidance. If they see it as another imposition of Western controll they will boycot and loot that growth. \n\nAn emerging markets investment may be a wiser choice.

No, of course not. It's because they are humanitarians who care very deeply about the saving the Iraqi people from the terrorist insurgents who are invading their country. \n\nEither that or they're a bunch of frigging hypocrites who don't know what the hell is going on.\n\nTake your pick.

As you will find most wars happen because people are so passionate about what they belive in. that in my opinion is why.

Its because they know almost nothing about a group of people, people who don't understand people either try to understand people or choose the easier rout and simply hate them.  Mostly they don't want to understand these people because even before they know anything about these people, they feel threatened or scared.  Whether it be because the threat of lost jobs, terrorism, or something else.  Hate is just the easier path despite it not being the better one, and as for War its the larger scale of that hate.

The few Iraqi people that i have meet. \nHave been ordinary people who just want their country to have peace. \nthey want the chance to rebuild their country, to live in freedom and security, \nSome thing which they have not had the chance to do since Saddam. \nThe few i have meet told me they don't mind the western soldiers being there, until the time is right for the Iraqi people to take over. \nif the insurgence will leave them to get on with it.

I doubt it.  What could stoke the fires of passion in a holy war more than fighting against the inevetable?  Most Americans don't seem to realize that is how they see this.  In their eyes, they're not "evil-doers."  The way they see it, they are trying to save the rest of the world from us.  If you saw yourself on the side of the righteous rebels, would YOU ever give up?

You sound foreign, perhaps you are from Iraq. The killing of innocents will definitely  be avenged by God if not here on earth. I know that the vast majority of people in Iraq just want to live peaceful lives as do most Americans. It's just the leaders who don't do the actual fighting that keep the animosity going.

Maybe because they have no illusions. they see themselves as they ARE, those around them as THEY are, or the WORLD as it is. For rational people it is hard to find comfort in the way the world is today, though it is best to accept what is and do the best one can. No?

You are touching lightly on "militant enthusiasm." It's an interesting idea in communal aggression...read more about by checking out these links on Google.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=militant+enthusiasm&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The bigger question is why are most humans obssessed with them.

My own opinion is that I have met and worked with people from Pakistan and they are just as fine and hard working as anyone else.  However, there are many in that nation that have been seduced by radicalism.  Unfortuantely this makes them less than friendly to the west and it;s values.

They are tired of being humiliated.\n\nI mean... they been suspected of terrorism, seen a super-power invading an islamic nation like nothing, they see soldiers humiliating islamic prisoners, have western nations telling them what energy to use, are being told they are not civilized because they dont have western standarts, theyget threatened and have their religion made fun of...\n\nI wonder how you would like that?

About 51% of them are either ignorant or arrogant or couldn't care less about the rest of the world. They go in to sell arms and broker oil deals, they call it liberation.\n\nThe other 49% are people worth worshipping. People who realize that America isn't the world. That there are people in other places. People who aren't terrorists. People who deserved not to have themselves and their families massacred and then called collateral damage.\n\nPower to these folks. The rest of the world loves you.

Religion used to be the number one cause, but now I think it's more likely National interest, i.e. protecting ones resources (oil etc), or political reasons, or simply a desire to divert attention from problems at home - a successful war will always instill a sense of national pride e.g. the UK went to war with Argentina in the 1980's and that created an immense sense of National Pride and won an election for the Conservatives, while at home unemployment was rising etc.

This is an unusual question - I am not sure I understand your question, but if so, basically I think that what you are asking is, are the one's called terrorists, done so because of the way the media portrays them, rather than the cause they are fighting for.\nIf so, I would say no. Freedom fighters are normally labelled "rebels".\nIf they use tactics such as attacking civilians, mosques, churches community centres etc to try and make their point, ie scaring people into submitting to their will, or force people to act in a certain way, this makes them terrorists, ie the use of terror as a political means.\nTheir are two types of opponents to the USA in Iraq for example. The so-called "insurgents", who are rebels, who just want to remove the Allied forces from their country. And terrorists who are destroying mosques and killing civilians to ensure their religion is the most powerful one in the new Iraq, once the western powers have left.

Yes, very good people, the US media does a pretty good job depicting people from other countries as a bunch of illeterate corrupted terrorist savages, when in fact most people all over the world have good education and show more respect and knowledge of other cultures than americans.
