I think if you ask most people who have been "liberated and freed" by the invading US military they would say what G.Washington and company would have said, that it is better to fight for your own freedom than owe it to a coke swilling, gas-guzzling giant thousands of miles away.

Better to have one tyrant on the block than three thousand in the neighboring city...

My point, if you bothered to notice, was that you cannot ask "most people who have been liberated and freed" because the only ones who have a voice that is shown on the news are the ones who protest. I believe they represent a small minority of those we have helped.

BTW - you obviously don't know anything about George Washington if you think he wouldn't be in favor of the US foreign policy as it stands.

Also BTW - where do you officiate?

George Washington warned against the perils of empire and the imperial tendencies of government. He would be completely on the side of those who protest this misrepresented war.
BTW, do you need to officiate to post here?
and, its ironic how your icon on your posts ALSO has a man saluting his emperor and turning his back on the flag.

Last time I looked, we didn't have an emperor in this country, we have a President. Now it all becomes clear. You're not from here. All along, you're criticizing the foreign policy of your country, and it's not even the United States. It's some country with an emperor, like Ethiopia.

BTW - my soldier doesn't have his back "turned" on his flag. It's a representation of how our nation (symbolized by our flag) backs up our military.

anyway you want to see it, patriot....

nice point about Ethiopia, good thing the US really helped them out of that famine they had over there...and while you're at it, ask women in Afghanistan if they enjoy more freedoms now that we're seeing a resurgence in the Taliban.
