It reads more like you are equating the Iraqi resistance (your title) to a bunch of fanatics who blow themselves up with the people around them.
We have yet to see a fair account of what the Iraqi resistance to the US coalition is actually producing on the ground.
Wasn't it Tariq Ali in your own interview who was saying that such fanatic tactics were way too much represented in the western media while the actual resistance was totally downplayed ?
