If we are in Iraq because of Saddam's tyranny, then please explain why we aren't invading every country who has a tyrannical dictator. It had nothing to do with helping Iraqis, it was a strategic move, and it was about oil and war profiteering. I guess you can't ask those 1 million or so Iraqis that have been killed since we invaded, if they are happy that we got rid of Saddam either, because they are dead due to our invasion and subsequent war. And no, the majority of dead in Iraq are not due to terrorists or insurgents, which is the correct terminology. It is due to our shock and awe bombings, and the rest of our military actions, the minority is insurgent killings. There weren't any terrorists in Iraq while Saddam was in power, we have made Iraq a breeding ground for them, and it will be Iraqis who get rid of them as well.

And as I stated before, it is hoped that one would be responsible about their rights in our country, but responsibility is not a requirement in order to have those rights. One could argue that the KKK isn't very responsible about what they say, but you cannot argue against their right to say it.

If people don't decry the wrongs being done by their government, then they will never change anything. You are only arguing this issue out of partisanship, not on it's merits. You did not answer my question about your feelings about the Clinton administration, and what you were saying about them during their time in power. Because I can pretty much guarantee that you were loudly calling for his impeachment, and complaining every day about the damage that they were doing to this country. But you fail to see the injustices being perptrated on us by the Bush administration, even when their actions might harm our country. Is that patriotism?
