hmmm...
"freed the people of Iraq" you say ...
1) not on the list of reasons we invaded;
2) hard to say what Iraqis have been freed from
given the operations of Abu Ghraib seem unremarkably different while the management's changed;
3) freed from regular electrical service by U.S. military campaign against their infrastructure, maybe?we need to define "freed" here a little bit.
does it mean to be "freed" to be eventually dominated by Iran?
if we are to suppose it means to be freed from an oppressive political tyranny, then we should note that Cuba has universal health care and free education.
we should free Florida to have those things
and
maybe Florida's votes should count for presidential elections too?Maybe we should be doing more to free people from tyrannical political oppression even closer to home, like the cultural of corruption, cronyism and incompetence running the current regime in washington?
