post a commentI love Sarah McLachlan, but I take issue with the graphic near the end of that video. The soldiers in Iraq are not 'fighting for our freedom,' in fact just the opposite.
The Iraq 'war' (really an illegal invasion and occupation) has been the centerpiece in the fictitious premise that Bush is a wartime president. The so-called Great War on Terror has enabled such abuses against freedom as the USA PATRIOT Act, NSA wiretapping, the Military Commissions Act, the suspension of habeas corpus, etc. The soldiers in Iraq are fighting and dying for Bush's freedom to do whatever he wants under the flimsy legal aegis of the Unitary Executive (translation: dictator) - his freedom, not yours.
