You guys win....
Iraq is still a dictatorship under one man rule. People are still getting gassed by their government. Deaths of children by the hundreds of thousands due to sanctions dear Saddam could heave ended at a moments notice.....
Yes, you are right.
Iraq isn't free.
yep.
You win.
That is a false argument. No one is stating those things to be true today. The actual points put to you were: US foreign policy goals in Iraq, and elsewhere historically, never did have "freedom" as a top priority, and in most cases, it was not a priority at all. In Iraq, freedom was used as political spin, as the true motivations for the action would have been unsellable to the American public.
