Quite honestly, I don't consider anyone fighting "heroes", but I do tend to favor the Iraqi fighters more for the simple fact that it was their land that was wrongly invaded, it is their friends and families that are wrongfully being killed and it is them who really are fighting for justice, rather than simply taking orders from superiors and blindly fighting an unjust war.
I'm not referring to the "terrorists" killing innocent people to get their points across, I'm referring to the citizens who are trying to protect their homes, friends and families and realize their current situation is no worse than it was under Saddam, the only difference is that they actually have sufficient allies helping them remove the enemy at any cost necessary.
The only heroes in my eyes are the people who realize that killing one another is not the answer, the people who refuse to involve themselves in the senseless killing, not just the Iraqis, but also the Americans who realize the value of life.
