7. I'm speaking as the spouse of a soldier in Iraq
who knows more about the actual situation in Iraq than the most Americans. Shrub lies daily about it.

This isn't a "global" conflict. Unless you buy the war on terrorism bullshit. Which case, you buy any lie coming out of Chucklenuts mouth.

The lie is that Americans are free. Just because you have choices doesn't make you free...the quality of those choices are what matters. Iraq in no way threatened "our way of life"....those who do can be currently viewed at whitehouse.gov. It's a lie to say anything in Iraq has anything to do with America's "freedom." It doesn't...unless it's the freedom to be a colonial power.

If we can't choose to stop a war (waged in our name and supposedly for our sakes) then we don't have an important choice...the choice to stop war.
It's subtle...oh, so simple...but ever so important.
