Re: "France had already been conquered by Germans, previous to our liberating it."
Yup.
Re: "Liberation becomes a bit more problematic, especially in terms of international law, when you liberate a people from their own indigenous government. They have every right to liberate themselves from their government, but it's a hairy mess to set precedents for outsiders to do it, imo"
I'm not sure what you think the meaning and significance of "indigenous Government" is in this case, but I feel International law certainly should account for SadDam Hussein. If it didn't quite, it should have and we did. The set precedent here is akin to battling Hitler, not becoming like him, clearly. I could have mentioned our efforts to save lives here, quite unlike Hitler(perhpas in the future we'll be able to do even better). Actions justified, IMO. Not to worry, the true news will spread.
