The Bush administration fabricated reasons to go into iraq. They defied a the UN to go to war with a country unprovoked. Instead of bombing the **** out of the country to "help" them, maybe other lines of diplomacy should have been tried.

If "Of course they want a choice," then even if they do die, now, they're working toward a better day ~ not for themselves, so much, but for their children and the rest of their families.
Sometimes, one life doesn't mean so much in the Big Scheme of Things.
And, amazingly enough, there are brave, courageous people EVERYWHERE, who, regardless of religion, language, or culture, are willing to give their lives for something better.
And the funny thing? It's almost ALWAYS for their children...
