The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy.’ They are the revolution, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow – and they will win.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that the people in Iraq who are fighting against the foreign occupation of their country should not be called bad names like "insurgents" or "terrorists." Instead, they are part of a revolution, just like the American Minutemen who fought against the British. Their numbers will keep growing, and they will eventually win.
