Huh?
The thousands of "middle-class-mujahadeen" don't mind getting on camara and spitting out drivel about the US, and how they are going to Iraq to fight the Great Satan, etc.
Of course, they realize that once they get there, a whole new economy will have opened up, and they can feed at the trough of foreign investment once again, denying they ever badmouthed the US.
While this is the dawn of a new era in warfare, that of the "refugeeless conflict", it is not without an increase in carpetbaggers.
