That statement doesn't change the point that it was not our responsibility, our job, or our right to effect that change.
We are not the world's policeman. Trying to force democracy on everyone is a guaranteed way to get everyone pissed off at us. That does NOT enhance our national security.
And DukeNukem, you're dismissing the droves of Iraqi civilians who have been killed since the beginning of the war, and who continue to be killed every day.
As for them being more free, freedom does you no good if you can't leave your house to enjoy it. The average Iraqi today is taking his life into his hands just going to the grocery store. If that's the kind of freedom you're selling, I'm not buying.
