Brook you said that they were fighting for your freedom! perhaps I do not know certain facts so please tell me when and where was the freedom of Americans threatened, that they had to attack Vietnam and drop napalm bombs on Vietnamese. What did the Iraqis do? how did they threaten your freedom? The biggest threat to your freedom is inside your own country...Who did 9/11...?
PS WWII is a different matter.....

You are not serious? The whole premise of going to war is for freedom...in Vietman...it was freedon from Communisim....9/11 from the TERRORISTS...and oh yeah..let us not forget the WMD'S...it is their only premise for war....that does not make it so....but that is the premise....I have disagreed with every war since Vietman and before...but that is the reason we do it anyway....can you not see how manipulated the whole thing is? Of course our freedom was not threatened by Vietman...but they made the whole country think so...except those who saw through the LIES...Just like 9/11.....but again I say...they go to war for FREEDOM
