Iraqi-Americans Want to Fight Saddam

Iraqi-Americans to fight AGAINST Saddam

Alwatan's nephew has brain damage and facial scars after*Iraqi soldiers kicked him in the face when he was*a year old*in order to get information during the first Gulf War. Alwatan said the military was searching for him and his brother.
Sounds like a great place for a vacation to me

What I find interesting is the Iraqi-Americans want to fight saddam yet the Iraqi-Jordanians want to fight the US.

What is the difference. Both of them left their homeland because they did not like saddam. Yet there is a completely different view of this conflict.

As an old Arab proverb reads,

"My brother and I against my cousin, my cousin and I against a stranger."

Edited for spelling

Ahhh, but both are Arabs and cousins.

This would more accurately boil down to a group mentality in the region. Both were adults when they left saddam land both had simmilar trouble which made them leave their home land yet both come up with different views of what America's plans and goals are.
