whoooooooooooooooooooooooo...!!!!!! you have, in my opinion, eloquently expressed what i've been wondering myself. not sure if there's much else to say, as i really agree with you.
to add to the picture of "freedom" you've already addressed as it stands in iraq... most of the political pundits say that iraqi's are merely voting to show defiance to the terrorists, and that the vote doesn't actually matter, seeing as how there are/were so many candidates for office... and they're only electing the parliament, which will choose the president, who will choose the prime minister; and collectively they'll write their own constitution...
governors of the states of iraq have already been chosen...
it doesn't really seem like they get to choose much. but then i guess you could say we here in the u.s. don't get to choose much either, lol.
also, bush and friends have a interesting way of looking at freedom, which you've already pointed out. to add to that, the terrorists have always hated us and attacked us for our freedoms (not my thinking, but that of bush and friends)... i've always found that odd, but i guess it works for bush and friends... we were attacked on 9/11 because of our freedoms, and the iraqi people get to vote in support of freedom and in defiance of insurgents who hate freedom...
