Others fighting for your freedom?? Those others are fighting for economical reasons, for oil and gas, for money and power, so some big shots can fill their pockets and take more power, more and more and more, thats what they are dying for. And the soldiers are being used, they are dying for those big shots, mostly poor young guys without education, are being used to die for money and power - for nothing.

Of course those countries are not free, of course their people cannot speak out, thats true. But America did not start the war to end that, they say they did, but thats not the reason. dont cover your economic war up with saying that they are a treat to your freedom and safety, because we all know bush went in that war for economical reasons. stop being so naive.

If you say that freedom is not the reason but is it the outcome? Is the world better off without Saddam running a country? The people I served with over in Iraq were a complete american culture. Most of them are not poor and dumb. I have a college degree. In fact a higher majority of military have college degrees than America. You just think this because it helps you sleep better.
All of our enemies did not attack us because of our military presence and our history of fighting. Look at post WW1. No one was willing to stand up to the Socialists. Germ and Italy and Japan and Russia all took advantage of this. Because no one was willing to fight. They were cowards like you who thought it would always be there. Seriously what oil have we gotten. Do you realize that OPEC is a cartel (think union) that makes up random prices. For instance in a free market if demand stays and supply goes up then prices goes down. But the Cartel says that if demand goes down, they will jack the price up. Now if more oil countries buck the oil price that OPEC sets, then OPEC loses their power. Then all these crazies like Saudi princes, and terrorist controlled countries lose power and money. To me that is a good thing if Americas enemies lose power and money. But not to people like you. Why is that?

What is wrong to be fighting for economical reasons? If you give people a form of capitalism, then both countries population will be better off -economically. The soldiers are dieing for their commanders. Their commanders take orders from the President who has been voted in by the majority of our electoral college, who's points are created by elected officials.
You liberal loon are unrealistic and conspiracy theorists. Where is your facts for these blackhawk moments? What big shots are making these decisions to go to war? Who exactly has gotten money for our country going to war besides Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton?

I really don't give a what some bandwagon Celtics fan from Europe has to say on the matter.
