FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES ALRIGHT: Maybe now that the left-leaning Times prints this story, naysayers like Janeane Garofalo and my friend Dick will believe: The Iraqis are resisting our advance "on pain of death." They are not choosing to fight us, nor to to defend Saddam. No. They have been taken from their homes in handcuffs and guarded over by armed thugs who will shoot them if they try to surrender. Of course they're fighting. After decades of fighting for their lives, it's all they know how to do.
