While I think your targeting Jusge a little too much (mod?), this whole idea of fighting wars to preserve freedom is ridiculous.

Which freedoms? Where? When?

Gay rights? Abortion rights? The right to a healthy environment and equitable economic system? Which one of those was al-Qaeda, or Saddam, targeting?

The Arab Spring was what the Niddle East needed, nor Bush's wars. Granted, Obama couldn't have just yanked Anerica from them, but I guarantee that the basis for a sustainable peace, sovereignty and freedom cones from within, not from beyond.

Which countries intervened in the struggle for Anerican independence?
