Preserving freedom comes at a price. If we did not rebel against the British then we would not have been free.
Freedoms price, is the lives of the brave men and women who fought, and continue to fight for our country, and for freedom around the world.
1, You consider yourself free?
2. You think American soldiers are dying in Iraq for freedom?
1. First off, Americans currently have little freedom. And fuck rebelling against the British, America has a sordid history of genocide & slavery so don't try to use history to talk about freedom because if you're going that far back with dates then I've got a shitload more problems with America.
2. American soldiers, in their minds, may be dying for freedom but reality is a different matter. I would never claim to know the ins & outs of a nation's policies but oil is a major factor as is 9/11. Freedom is the image provided to cover their crime.
Fact is, stolen oil is free oil, so that's one reason they're raping Iraq.
9/11 is involved as it kickstarted Bush's 'war on terror', & Bush, even though he is a dumb fuck, will've been informed of the 'Patriot Card' - that is, start conflicts for your own reasons but hide these reasons behind patriotism & freedom & you'll not only receive support from your country, but you might even get re-elected.
There actually was a survey done that stated that two out of three Americans believe American soldiers are in Iraq in retaliation to 9/11 & while I accept that this figure cannot be totally accurate as they won't have surveyed everyone, it can be taken as indicative of the way America distorts it's crimes.
I would pity your blindess, but sadly I can't as I'm too busy being disgusted at how the world suffers for America's crimes.
The deaths of American soldiers & the many Iraqi innocents (even though the propaganda would have you believe almost all Iraqis that die are the 'bad guys') should rest on the conscience of all Pro-Bush Americans.
