Is the war in Iraq defending Americans' freedoms? if so, how?

Answer 1

No.

-It has established imperialistic power for the US in that country.
-It has caused the world to hate the US - (which is actually a threat to national security).
-It has showed me how stupid and gullible Americans are in their misconstued sense of freedom.
-It has killed many Iraqi civilians and is plunging them into civil war.
-No WMDs were found. The ones supposedly found cannot be classfied as WMDs because they were not maintained for years and thus, ineffective!
-It has showed me how easy it is for the government to find any means of increasing the defense budget and go to war for the sake of the Military Industrial Complex.

- You call all this "protecting our freedoms" when really it was all for money?

Answer 2

Terrorists aren't attacking us because we are free. There are plenty of more liberal countries, like Canada and Sweden, that are not targetted by terrorists. we are targetted for our foreign policy decisions in the past, as well as because we are strong allies with Israel.

The Iraq war is a battle in the war on terrorism, but it's a war that can never be fully won. Terrorists will always exist and there's only so much you can do to thwart their plans.

A Westernized Middle East sounds nice, and would probably fix a lot of problems in the world, but would not be the panacea to stop terrorism.

Answer 3

The 9/11 attack will prove to be an apocalyptic change for
our world. We are no longer sitting on our behinds waiting for the next attack from the enemy. But taking the fight to the enemy.
Make no mistake. Sadaam Hussien was a determined enemy of
the United States. Commiting an act of war on a daily basis by
firing on our jet fighters patrolling the country.
The mistake was that we used overkill. The "shock and awe'
campaign was in my view, too excessive. Resulting in a cylce
of blood vengeance, and causing trillions of dollars of unnecessary repairs for Iraq.

Answer 4

YES!! If you don't exercise your freedoms you lose them.

If we don't invade a country every decade, the next time we try someone's going to have the audacity to say we shouldn't.

And if we want to be free to kill tens of thousands of civilians at will, continue to stir up trouble in the middle east, frisk sovereign nations for non-existant weapons, and violate the Geneva Convention - then we have to make sure and exercise those rights continually.

The Bush Administration is simply protecting our freedom to violate international laws, imprison and torture foreign citizens at will, and to generally romp around the globe as we please leaving a wake of destruction in our path.

And if you commie, pink-o, treehugger, vegan, peacemongers are so braindead that you can't see the value in spending our children and grandchildren's money to bring Jesus' love to those vile Muslims, then the Department of Homeland Insanity has every right to confiscate your phone, internet, and library records before throwing you in jail forever without access to a lawyer!!

Long live Amerika!!!
