if someone invaded your country, and won't leave you alone, and you have to worry about your own life everyday you go out. what would you do?
some of the iraqi "insurgents" used their own bodies as the bomb, to some of the iraqi people, they are actually heros. and why do they hate the US so much so that they decide that they would rather die than live under the control of a foreign invader?
think about it, would you ever be willing to die for your country if someone invade your own country? And many of them were still very young.

what made you think that what you believe is the correct version? And why do you have to force your own value and political system to other people?
maybe they got brainwashed, but are you sure that you didn't get brainwashed yourself?

Well think about this, what if someone invaded your country to get rid of the MAFIA or M19 or Crips or other organized crime (or better yet mass murderers). How stupid would you have to be to blow yourself up to protect the mass murderers?
If you would do that, you are a fool, probably a spoiled rich kid or someone who hates their country. (Look to Italy during WWII, they welcomed us, they were glad we drove out the Nazis).

The best answer to this question, I would have to refer you to the countries that were invaded by Hitler during WW2.
When the German army need help in their conquest, they enlisted help from the locals that were willing to help the invaders, we in this country, and England refered to them as "collaberators", and when the other citizens thought of them as traitors, and fought them with any and all means possible, we called them "patriots" and "freedom fighters", and looked upon them with respect, and even offered to help in any way possible.
Today, in Iraq, we are the "aggressors" and since the Iraqi's are now fighting us, we now use the term "insurgents".
The only difference in what happened between 1939 and 1945 and now, is the tables are turned, and the names have changed. These people are no more terrorist than was the freedom fighters of the 40's.

neither they are just resisting occupation look at it this way what were the french resitence fighters called and what did they call themselves the resistence well the same could be said for iraq the iraqis are resisting a foreign occupation force and can not be called insurgents as it is their own country as to explosive devices if the u.s. special forces blew up soldiers they would be called heros this has been portrayed that way in countless hollywood movies sneak in blow up the enemy barracks or camp or warship whatever they do not use explosives strapped to chests also hollywood rarely mentions commandos from middle eastern armies though i assume they have them unless the u.s. has a monopoly on them

Well, these 'insurgents' are Islamic Martyrs that want nothing more than the destruction of the US and Israel. They see the US as a 'free nation' and they hate it. Their goal is an Islamic ruled world and they will stop at nothing to see the destruction of anyone who will get in the way.
The insurgents are being funded by Russia and Iran. You should read the book 'Jerusalem Countdown' by John Hagee. It is a great book about the Middle-East and how these 'Martyrs' will stop at nothing to see the destrcution of Christians, Jews, and anyone else who will not submit to Islamic Law.

The US are the terrorists in Iraq. During the second world war people who fought against the Nazi invasion were called The resistance and hero's. I guess now they would be called insurgents. Viva la resisance!!!

You need to research a little more. these people are tribal and have been killing each other for 6000 years. They want us to leave so they can keep killing each other. Until one tribe takes rule of the others. Like Saddam and the Sunni had rule of the Kurds and Shea. If we leave the killing and suicide bombings will only get worse.
