no.
Okay, Do you think Iraq can afford to clothe every willing citizen in army fatigues? I doubt it. Therefore they are forced to fight with what they have. It's like watching a world champion boxer fight a 12 year old. The only thing the 12 year old can do to hurt is to bite, which is deemed illegal (as we saw with Tyson). The fact is that Iraq is outmatched and I think that if willing citizens do not want their country invaded by the Americans than they should stand up and fight at whatever cost they deem fit.

No, world peace between humans will only be achieved if theres but one human.
Come to think of it, that one human probably wouldn't be at peace with himself.

Maybe one day, in the distant future, Human Kind may live in peace.

It won't happen. As long as there's terrorism and Jerusalem, there will be no peace.

well, considering that Sadamn has over 100 palaces, he could have used that money somewhere else. maybe in outfitting the willing. not only that but there are sites where there were new uniforms in bunkers that wern't even out of their bags.

Reno, yes the fact that money was spent poorly is a good reason as to why they don't have fatigues to wear, but to an Iraqi citizen they don't know if Saddam has extra uniforms or not, so they just fight either way. To the Americans it may not seem right to have people not in the army fighting against them but I think that the Iraqis who want to fight for their country should be able to whether or not they're decked out in army clothing.

that's fine let them fight/die for their country. there's nothing wrong with that. like Patton said it's not our duty to die for our country, it's our duty to make the other poor bastard die for theirs. it's not wrong to be overly cautious either. this precautionary measure saves lives. you may not belive it because of one incident but that's why it is there.
