After five years of war can only wonder how liberated they feel.

No, you're absolutely wrong.
face it: US biggest allies in the area are Saoudi Arabia and Pakistan, the most extremist islamic states, applying the islamic law in the most barbaric sense of it, the sharia.
Afghanistan was perfectly logical. Irak was not! Religiously it was very opened! Women were much liberated. Do you know what happened to christians under american Irak? Hussein was Saoudis and Iran main enemy and the US destroyed it! explain this!
Iran is de facto winner now in Irak.
and now with the catastrophy in Irak the victory in Afghanistan is also being lost to the Talibans with Pakistan help and Saoudi money, Pakistan where Bin Laden is the much likely hiding!
where is the war against "islamic law" that is opressing human rights? the US is doing exactly the contrary!!!!

I am a social liberal and fiscal conservative. The reason I oppose the war in Iraq is that liberty, freedom, and exceptance of others must come from their own bloodshed. We had such a big youth movement going in Iran, that was the time for the CIA to dump money in the hands of those students and intellectuals that wanted a more moderate society. We needed a decent sized protion of the population to want change. That did not exist whihc is why we are in this mess in Iraq. Afganistan was required and it will be tough but it had to be done. They have to want to do it themselves.

It isn't an issue of human rights - if human rights were ANY concern of the Republican party we would be in Dar Fur (have you even heard of it?)
Iraq was not our problem, It was GW Bushes problem and now its a disaster! Iraq had absolutely Nothing to do with 9/11 - that is the (lie) base for us being there - not human rights.

They're upset that the liberation of 50 million people did not occur under a Democrat. If Bill Clinton engineered what Bush did, they'd be erecting statues in his honor in D.C.

they had more rights & liberty before we got there. 2001; i could get a drink, women could work and dress in modern attire, everyone was free to practice whatever religion they wanted & free market commerce was encouraged. no suffering outside the usa is any business of the usa government. as an individual you can go effect whatever change you see fit. you dont have the right to force anyone to go with you or pay for it. everyone mentioned terrorism, its our involvement over there (since the 1920s) that inspires them to retaliate. no, the neither sunnis nor the shiia cant take over anything. they have israel to deal with. none of them could be a threat to usa other than isolated attacks & theyd stop doing that if we left them alone & quit backing israel.

Jason, do yourself a big favor. Don't try to figure these idiot liberals out. Hell, since they have no core values and since they have no right or wrong, they don't even know what to believe about anything from one day to another. It's only been 1 week since the election and already there is infighting and bickering among these bozos. This is going to be fun to watch!

uh... do you know how a democracy works?
people vote on people that they want to lead them...right?
what happens when the people vote for "pro-islamic law" candidates and they lead the country with islamic law? the same thing you're talking about...
who do you think they are electing? pro-American republicans to their governments?
don't you get it... relgion is the only thing that matter to the majority, and in a democracy, the majority wins.. so nothing is really going to change in the end...

That would be nice if it were really true. While I'll agree the war in Afghanistan wasn't totally disagreeable (compared to Iraq), I fail to see how Iraqi civillians' lives have improved at all.

It involves more than just the liberals.
The war in Iraq is the center of the war on terror. Syria knows this. Iran knows this. Pakistan knows this. Hell, all the Muslim nations and even the terrorists know this - why don't we know this?
Human rights will be a moot subject if we lose this war - and a lot of people just don't get this fact.

In a nutshell.
They do not receive any personal gain if people are liberated in Iraq or Afghanistan therefore those people do not figure into our liberals compassionate agenda. They do not like spending money if it does not generate votes for them.
Human rights be damn.
