Me to.
However, one of the things this country has always stood for is Freedom. I have found that people usually have the kind of government they deserve. NO people have ever been freed from an oppresive government from the outside. Paying the price in the blood of their people doesn't guarantee that freedom and democracy will survive, but it sure goes a long way towards it. What you win in the blood of your people is far more precious than that which is handed to you or imposed on you by a liberator. Very rarely does imposed freedom work. And keep in mind that Germany and Japan had a populace that, in the case of the Germans, had a history of democracy, and in the case of Japan, a history of doing what the Emperor deemed fit.The wars we fought in the last century were wars to free conquered people. We were notably unsuccessful when we weren't trying to free those who had been conquered. Unfortunately we seem to be embarked on a quest to change governments we don't like and hand freedom to people who have for nearly two millenium accepted the rule of a strong leader without to much complaint. The definition of freedom that the clans of Iraq are likely to want is one of "I do what I want and you do what I say".
I don't view it as a war for freedom or enslavement. If we were out to free the slaves I can point you to several African nations that desperately need our help. If you want to know what this war is really about, which is agenda, go to the PNAC site (google PNAC) and see just how long ago this was in the planning stages. |
