There is no question here, just your opinion cloaked as a question. Or put another way, a leading question. It appears that you operate within a very narrow context, that you don't like too many variables complicating your worldview.

The people I have talked to would certainly like to see all brown-skinned people released from brutal dictatorships, and be allowed to live their lives in freedom.

A friend of mine told me of his friend's son, a tribal member and armed forces member serving in Iraq, who committed suicide there, stating in his suicide note that he didn't understand why he was there killing other brown-skinned people.

As usual, we are not hearing everything that is going on over there, that perhaps many Iraqi lives have not changed much, that they are still living in fear of brutality.

It is possible to view the situation in Iraq from many perspectives, to feel a great sadness that this "freedom" has to be imposed at such a great cost, that it could have been done a different way, that many Americans seem to be driven by revenge as much as altruism.

The most obvious statement - we all see what we want to see - that it is hard to see with clear vision - which is to see through other's eyes.
