Al-Qaeda is the enemy. We chose the battleground bc of its strategic location and used the needed ousting of Sadam as the excuse. We are fighting for ourselves in keeping them focused on fighting us in that country. Everything funnels into Iraq from Iran and Syriah. There is just no way to fully protect those borders. Weapons, meds and operatives are all coming straight from there. Hezbollah has begun training Al-Qaeda as well as the Quds from Iran. Both countries are anxious for us to move out so they can overrun Iraq and make it a territory. We are also at this point fighting to keep Iraq free from the control of those countries as well as Al Qaeda. That is why you are beginning to see local militias being formed that are actually kicking the terrorists out. The terrorists have tried to come back and respond but the towns have so far won. As long as they keep it up this will be over a lot sooner that we'd all hoped.

Fighting against Iraqis sick of seeing a bunch of black & white (excuse this, iraqi is very homogenius) folks with heavy weaponry on the street waving the flag of a foreign government halfway across the world.
If a Iraqi picks up arms against American soldier, he instantly becomes a "islamic extremist". Much like china having invaded USA would call an American who picked up arms against their patrolling troops a "Christian Extremist".
Locals will ALWAYS fight to expell the foreign military. Any country who would not, does not deserve freedom and is doomed to being enslaved by whoever wishes to be master.

They are fighting against Ba'athists who refuse to give up, terrorists like AlQaeda in Iraq, foreigners like Iranians who want to see anarchy in Iraq so they can roll in, and Iraqis who are misguided by their religious leaders to view us as enemies.
Our allies are the coalition forces and Iraqi military, led by the duly elected government of Iraq.

They are fighting against islamic extremism, and fighting for a pro-democracy Iraq, which would be an American Ally in an anti-american part of the world.

They are fighting for corporate America. They are fighting the Iraqis to complete the occupation.

I think we are now for the very people we were against when we invaded. But since there is so much confusion, we generally kill them all and let Allah sort them out.
