Do you honestly believe Iraqi people don't have friends and family P4B? The majority of casualities aren't soldiers, insurgents, partisons, or terrorists. The majority of casualities are civilians being bombed because of the precarious security situation brought on by the invasion, and the American bombs that target enemies and kill many civilians in the process. The civilian death toll from this war is at least in the hundreds of thousands. This is common-sense stuff, if somebody charges into your country and kills friends and family (because everybody killed had friends and family), you're not going to feel too friendly towards them.

The media paints the "insurgents" like they're all just insane terrorists. There are plenty of fanatical nutjobs of course, but a lot are just patriots fighting an occupying force after seeing mom, sister, or best buddy killed. Believe it or not, those savages over there think a lot like us and have people in their lives just as important to them.
