This may come as a supprise to you but what happens around the world affects your freedoms and your countries freedoms. Its called commerce.

my goodness what a distorted capitalistic mentality

My friends died for a just cause, wether that's Iraq's populas's freedom or countries sounding Iraq's security and European and North American security.

Freedom is maintained its not perminent, thats what all the U.S soliders deaths since WW2 has achieved for you, the liberty to say it was all for nothing.

I'm sorry, but that's arrogant and delusional at the same time. Who are you to tell another country what's right or wrong? Your standards are not the world's standards, can you appreciate that?
I think soldiers who die in wars deserve all the respect in the world, but thinking that they paid the highest price for a just cause is something we like to tell ourselves to comfort ourselves that the decisions we took were right. It doesn't make much of a difference to them, since they're dead, but it's good for us to think that G.I. Joe died for a good reason, even if often it's not the case.

It always amazes me how the people how never had any direct experience of the instance have the most opinions about it which are mostly based upon a media outlet used for the furthering of their own particular cause, in this case a headline story.

I'm done with this BS thread.

what amazes me is that there's still a very powerful country that totally disregards other people's lives for the sake of their integrity and wealth.. points of view I suppose..
