An Iraqi life is worth no less than an American life. Although some Americans would probably like to believe that, it is not the case. And nobody has a right to call the Iraqis terrorist for fighting back. In the eyes of the Iraqis, the Americans are the real terrorists. You can’t blame the Iraqis for fighting back, its only natural to fight when your country is wrongly invaded. Had it been America that was wrongly invaded, nukes would start to fly. So all in all, Iraq is no safer than it was under Saddam (not yet anyway), and chances are it wont be for quite a while. The violence will probably escalate in that country from now on and I doubt it will get any better. It is unfortunate, but like you said, people are animals.
