Something worth fighting for.

I caught this article on MSNBC a few minutes ago, and one Iraqi's words really touched me, and I wanted to share them with you.

A current of such ambivalence raced across Baghdad along with jubilation and surprise. Relief was tied up with trepidation, joy with anxiety. What next, many seemed to ask. Hassan, a little weary, hoped the future would be better than the past.
“I want to feel that I’m a human being, I want to feel that I’m free and that no one can take it away,” he said. “I want to work, so that my family has enough to live. I want to live like everyone else in this world who lives in peace.”

If that's not something worth fighting for, then I don't know what is.
