touche. but i guess it depends on whether or not you think france and germany wanted everyone up and out of saddam and iraq's business, or if they wanted more dialogue... since there were no wmd's, etc. etc. perhaps it would have been prudent. idk. i think i'll end there, since this thread is about freedom, and not the reason(s) for going to war, and who was right/wrong...

So are we not free here in the states?
we're free... but with certain limitations...

i'm not sure what that means, as one could argue that if you're not 100% free to do whatever you please, you're not free, while someone else could argue that freedom has to have limitations...
