Who has been freed? The populations of Afghanistan and Iraq have been freed from unelected, oppressive, abusive leaders. The "insurgents" in Iraq want to put the Iraqi population back into an oppressive, unelected, unpopular system of governance. You are not free if you fear for your life when you go outside your home. Don't you understand anything that is going on in those parts of the world? At the very least why don't you spend your time railing on the malicious, evil groups that plant roadside bombs that kill innocent civilians or drive car bombs into groups of young Iraqi men that line up to join the civil defense force that is supposed to rebuild their country. Because they have little to do with us. They are a product of a different country and a different civilization. Furthermore, they exist because we invaded their country irresponsibly. Furthermore, I don't share your view that the US is the world's liberator. I don't think anyone is well equipped to perform that task......nation building is a tough and complicated job. Besides, who died and made us king of the world? It seems apparent who the bad guys are in Iraq at the moment. It's not the US troops, its the killers that are trying to stop the country's progress toward normalcy... That's an American view. Ask an Iraqi Sunni or an Iranian Shia or a Syrian Christian or a Brit or a Frenchman or a German or a Canadian what their view is. Badness is in the eye of the beholder.
