"It's really strange to read people argue that we're fighting to make people in Iraq free, when all the while we Americans are becoming less and less free. What---we have to give up what we fought for here in order to give them some?"

Hear, Hear!!!!!!!
Fighting for freedom in Iraq, while the SCOTUS rules in favor of abolition of private property!!

Fighting for freedom in Iraq, while the SCOTUS rules in favor of abolition of private property!!

You're right, but damn, I wish you hadn't reminded me. Now my stomach hurts even more!

Fighting for freedom in Iraq,

Let's apply it even further. We are using a lot of resources in Iraq, to secure the Iraq/Syria border.

What do we do here? Stripsearch little old ladies at airports and turn our heads the other way while people walk across our borders. Oh yes, we also search bags at random in NY because of what happened in London.

It almost feels like a Monty Python skit:
----------------
Terrorist: I just walked across your border.
USA: No you didn't.
Terrorist: Yes I did. Look, I'm doing it again.
USA: Our border is over here.
Terrorist: Okay, then I'll walk over there and walk across it.
USA: No you won't, you'll try to fly into the country like everybody else.
Terrorist: No, I'm going to walk across your border, like I just did.
USA: Shut up, you don't know what you are talking about. I didn't see you walk across the border, therefore you didn't walk across the border.
Terrorist: But I'm standing on your side of the border. You don't have to see me walk across the border, in order for me to actually walk across the border.
USA: We are going to go harass some people in New York and Washington, or at an airport.
Terrorist: Fine, but that doesn't change the fact that I walked across your border.
USA: Shut up!
