Yes, freeing people is good. But this war killed many people and solved no freedom issues. Currently there are little or no services in Iraq, and there is danger in the streets. This is not freedom...it's an occupation. A better opportunity for freeing the Iraqi people was tossed away when the Shia were encouraged to rise up against Saddam, and then we did not support the uprising resulting in a slaughter of many people and another 12 years of Saddam. All it would have taken is some air support. Let Iraqis free themselves. The best revolution for freedom comes from within...not from outside. Orca

Peter, plain and simple, America did NOT invade Iraq in order to promote democracy. Had this been the case, the very first Iraqi public buildings that would have been protected would have been those public buildings housing records of citizenship. You see, in a democracy records of citzienship are essential, are primary. Instead, the only Iraqi public building that was protected from looting and damage was the Iraqi Oil Ministry building. Is this telling; or not?
