I fail to see what invading Iraq had to do with our "freedom." I tire very quickly of this jingoistic "defending freedom" trump-card. Had we not invaded Iraq, we would have not lost almost 5,000 brave young American men and women and wounded tens of thousands more, spent trillions of dollars, fostered anarchy that cost nearly 100,000 innocent Iraqi lives, and in the process incited Arabs to hate us all the more. If this is "defending freedom," I'll pass.
