Dare I say fullguy a comment such as "In fact the Iraqis have shown more courage than the yanks, facing up to impossible odds and certain death" really does demonstrate stupidity and fanaticism rather than courage.

What possible use is there to throw your life away by rushing at a tank with either a pistol or as been reported a sword??

If you see that as courage, think again.

In the Iraqi context , given all we know of the regime - courage would be embodied by those who reject the regime, lay down ther arms and accept the change that is in progress and work to make their country something better, far better than it is today.

Thats courage.
