"They hate us for our freedoms"
Wrong!
They hate us because the western powers have fu*ked with that region, due to oil, for over 80 years.
Installing the Shah, overthrowing elected governments via the CIA, and making business deals with propped-up leaders at the detriment of the people.
The Iraq invasion is a continuation of this meddling.

If people refuse to research history then they will continue to believe the dribble that spews out of the Republican/Conservatives mouths.

3. A lot of people will refuse to research history. Because "its hard work"
like our pea brain of a president likes to say every chance he gets. But they will also refuse to connect the dots. Cause and effect. The actions we are taking today in Iraq, Africa, Cuba and other countries we have no business fucking around in will cause our children to pay a price for.

5. What freedoms?
The freedom to have legitimate and verifiable elections?

the freedom to have our jobs sent out of the country or have cheep labor come here?

The freedom to have an effective 4th estate, a press that truly is a watchdog of democracy?

The freedom to have affordable health care?

The freedom to sue HMOs that refuse treatment or companies that make and sell defective products?

The freedom to have equal quality education?

The freedom to quality low cost public transportation?

We are prisoners to the system and the system wants more of our blood for their fat pig profits.

They can spew freedom and liberty all they want, its just words with no real meaning anymore.

I want my country back!
