Some of them are people who want to try and help the Iraqi people who are just trying to get on with life and were put into a nasty position by all of the phallus-waving from ALL sides, from the American(-led) forces, the Insurgent forces and some of their own.

Some of them are people who see our government flushing millions...no...billions of dollars into Iraq and head over there for their piece of said juicy, albeit rather stinky, pie.

Some of them are people who are looking to make a name for themselves/their company by going over there, staying there until Iraq miraculously becomes an American Brand Democratic Free Country, then coming back with a legitamate "I/My company helped rebuild Iraq! See those ______ over there? That's my handiwork!" line for future stockholder meetings, advertising and bragging rights AND to have the chance to set up a company base of operations in Iraq for "international business and commerce..." blah blah blah.

And then there are those who just wanna be in the thick of it all. You know...the putzes.
