Guys, what about all the calls by Muslim militant leaders throughout the Middle East to unite and fight the American occupiers after the war began? What about all the Syrians, Egyptians, Saudis, Iranians, and others who answered the call, crossed the border, and took up arms alongside former Iraqi Republican Guards?
Their contempt for Baathist politics didn't get in the way of their desire to martyr themselves on Iraqi soil in a fight against a common enemy.
Many viewed their disagreements with the Baathists more as a disagreement within the family, or brotherhood of Muslims. But when push came to shove, they still saw themselves as a part of the same familty. The bonds are stronger than they may appear to outsiders.
