Those Iraqis are so grateful for the freedom we brought them that they are killing us on a daily basis and we have to maintain huge standing forces in country to ensure that they stay free and don’t revert to anything we may not like.
Afghanistan? you went in there to free the oppressed Afghan women did you? How come you only did that after 9 11? Didn’t the CIA actually fund and assist the Taliban in ejecting the Russians from Afghanistan? which means that those Afghan women were living in those conditions because of a regime you funded and assisted into power and did nothing to control or criticise until Bin Laden attacked the US.
Try going back to Afghanistan and seeing exactly what has changed and how many women are “free” in “democratic Afghanistan.”
If you are so keen on freedom and democracy why aren’t you going into Syria, North Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe, Cuba etc etc etc.
Because freedom had nothing to do with attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan or invading Iraq, they were acts of political self interest, not “soldiers giving anyone freedom.”
