Thank you for the compliment we appreciate that and I am sure all our dead soldiers and their weeping widows and children do as well. Yes we guard freedom as much as we can as we the people. But are you asking about money free? Nothing is for free, and you know that and it should not be. Give to Get, and if you are speaking of freedom of government a believe the fella that answered before me has listed the numerous places they now share a prosperous government. Or would you rather see them not have a right to vote? Big corporations that everyone talks about are not solely owned by America and whoever tells you that is really ignorant, Europe always had and has a big hand in those plays, Great Britain, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium Spain, Greece, Korea, Japan, China, etc., and that is just a few oh don't forget South American interests Italy, New Zealand, Australia? Shall I go on? And then there are the stocks all over the world that are sold to all the little people some lose their pants and others prosper? It is a gamble anyway you cut it. And there is always war in business concerns especially when a country like Russia is a big huge force and is going broke and wants to survive and creates a Russian Mafia? And sells arms to start wars? There is a Polish one too and a numerous amount of many that are still a great power. And what can America do all alone without people opening their eyes that we are all in this together? Yes this administration sucks but we still are going forward to protect those that are tyrants no matter what their special interests were in the oil? so what? America built all those oil fields with our equipment and our manpower and our money way back when? What the heck equipment did they have a Camel and a sword?
Left over tank parts from the Nazi's that invaded their lands and killed readily their people? Oh they forgot that right that Patton freed them from Rommel? Please don't get your hanky out for ingrates!

US corporations control our foreign policy. To spend billions and suffer thousands of casualities in the middle east while genocide rampages forward in Darfur is clear proof of our country's noble intentions. Thirty years ago most of the world was communist. The transition to a new system is being felt around the world. Vietnam is now a model economy for other developing nations. This was unthinkable when the US left in 75. The terrible lesson of Haiti is no matter how much money and good intentions the world body has some people are not ready for democracy and need a strong leader instead. You are right that current policies have only hurt the cause of freedom world wide.

who dyed and made America the guardian of freedom?
she is the one that defines ''terrorist'' then go hunt for it..
she is the one that booms countries looking for a group of people.killing Innocent people along the way. then justify it by saying it was an accident..
but no one questions America coz she is Fighting for Freedom..
why is oil more Precious than the Blood of Innocent People?
countries that have been occupied by the US are not changing to the better their becoming worse.
all the talk about freedom is bullshit..

The U.S. has only supported one democracy in the western hemisphere and that was Aristides in Haiti during Clinton. Bush immediately cut off aid to his government and has begun supporting Dictator Baby Doc Duvalier's air apparent. We are the greatest supporters of dictatorships in history some that we have put in power include, The Shaw of Iran, Manuel Noriega in Panama, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Pinochet in Chile, the last four put in power with the help of the CIA under the leadership of George Bush Senior in the 1970's.

Who verified that US is the guardian of freedom so that the other sentence can be explained?.
US is certainly a guardian of it's own interests and ofcourse 'oil' from it's actions.

Huh--it's getting to seem that we in the US have very little freedom and privacy any more. The US did free a lot of former dictatorships, etc. though.
