the main countries that criticize the US in this war are the ones that have a history of invading and taking land from other countries. I know the US is still a new country compared to most but how many wars have france, germany, england, russia, italy etc start???? all for the sake of expanding their empire or to force themselves on others?

Let me break this down for you, first off freedom is no more your fairytale of the white picket fence and wife with two kids (one girl, one boy) exists about as much as Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. Two, the main reason you are not free in the United States is you pay taxes, now this alone is not a problem the money that you pay and what it goes too is (democracy broken). Three, when YOU decide to take a stand you are labeled either A: Terrorist; or B: Anti-American, now this takes away the very thing this country was founded on and that is going against your government when YOU believe your government is in the wrong. Four, you elect a representative of which at the time you think is going for your personal interest however, in the long run most go for greed and/or what ever will up their political career so therefore your left with a guy that votes in the guy you didn't vote...wazzah you have a republic. Five, this country is ran off money...not people, hasn't been ran off people for about 40 or so years, it has and always will be money...hence jobs outsourcing to other countries and the mediocre pay you recieve at your respectful job with the crashing house market and dwindling job market this makes our economy failing within 4-6 years. Six, the poor fight the rich war. **THIS IS OPINION NOT NECASSARILY FACT, HOWEVER SOME OF IT IS BASED OFF FACT** |

I'M back yall! freedom:the risk of a belief willing to go to the extreme to obtain this is somehting i hold dear to my heart and all those non-believers that belive freedom is all about war is wrong, war is apart and is very much needed but do you have freedom from yourself. Enuff to preserve what is right and what is wrong. "Freedom will be at any cost for me. "laying down my life or the life of another. NOTHING TO ME!if you dont have your hope of maybe changing the way the world turns what do you have.

Six, the poor fight the rich war. **THIS IS OPINION NOT NECASSARILY FACT, HOWEVER SOME OF IT IS BASED OFF FACT** 1. your version of what people consider free is not mine 2. we pay taxes for things like public schools, welfare etc 3. if people label others (and it happens on both sides btw) then guess what....it's because they are free to do so 4. you hit it right there....the PEOPLE elect others into office. whether they do a good job or not...WE voted them in. it wasn't given to them because of a family lineage 5. we are free to vote people into office will run it for the people and not money you have proven my view...you are free to say these things and I'm free to say what I feel. you shouldn't follow anyone's definition but your own, but i was referring to this line in your OP and I was asking who "your" is. I never once said anyone should follow someone's definition. i asked who you were referring to first off freedom is no more your fairytale of the white picket fence and wife with two kids (one girl, one boy) exists about as much as Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. |

I simply asked you WHO YOU WERE REFERRING TO....I didn't once argue with you about your definition until this last post because you used the word "your" and that isn't how I view our freedoms |
