Do you personally believe freedom is worth fighting for, conus?
Freedom?

In the first place there are a lot of Iraqis right now who are risking everything to be free of American occupation. Nothing new about that. Over the last fifty years the U.S. government has been responsible for the deaths of millions of human beings, either directly or through subsidization of their right-wing puppet dictators. Who was freed? Who benifited in the Philippines, or in Chile, Argentina, El Salvador, etc., etc.?

Do you really believe that George W. Bush and company care whether or not the Iragi people are 'free?" Boy this sure sounds familiar. Prior to the first gulf war, George Bush Sr. gave the public numerous reasons. When one didn't bring the response he wanted, they would issue another, and another, and another. Finally, we were told that by attacking Iraq we would be restoring democracy to the freedom loving Kuwaitis. That one stuck.

Believe this. You never will see a western-styled democratic system in Iraq. It if ever happens it won't be in your lifetime. No matter how bad Saddam's regime was, for most Iraqis it was preferable to what is happening now and what will continue for years to come. The U.S. government has turned Iraq into a hell on earth.
