Speaking only for America, no soldier has "fought for freedom" since World War II. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq I, Iraq II, etc...ALL financially motivated.
Do people tell themselves that so they are able to sleep better at night?

I know of people who think that Osama wants to invade out country with his thousand troops and force his version of sharia law, and turn the country into a Muslim Theocracy.
Many of these folk think the only way to prevent that is to turn this country and the Middle East into a Christian Theocracy.
That has also been the opinion of many prominent Republicans.
So yes they believe that soldiers in Iraq are fighting for our freedom, but then they don't actually believe in freedom.

The concept of "defending America's freedom" by invading Iraq is how the war was sold to world. The motivation of the Bush administration is to keep people in fear and convince them that they must trust in any method deemed necessary to keep them safe. That's how totalitarian governments have operated since the beginning of time.
I'm sure the families of those soldiers killed and wounded find some comfort in this concept; otherwise, how could they go on knowing their loved ones DIED FOR NOTHING MORE THAN CORPORATE GREED! That's why so many people hate what Cindy Sheehan is doing - speaking truth to power. They can't handle the truth!

A bill or an "Act" would desire to nevertheless bypass Constitutionality interior the U. S. to be enforced if my reminiscence is authentic. GOD placed Mr Bush in place of work as HE has performed with each international chief. he will additionally place yet another chief in his place, Lord prepared, with the aid of 2008. i've got not got faith that each Iraqi Citizen is an enemy of mine/ours. I do help our troops even regardless of the incontrovertible fact that i could not help going to war for this "reason". this is my wish that our youthful men come homestead risk-free and are in a position to fulfill with their households as quickly as is achieveable. you're actual finished of anger and that i wish which you will desire to administration it. Have a super holiday Season!! Eds

We're fighting to relieve George Bush and Dick Chaney's guilt for wimping out on Viet Nam. We're fighting for the oil companies. We're fighting for Hailburton and Dick Chaney's retirement account.
