I know - once we were in Iraq and couldn't find WMD, King George II said that it was about "freedom." We invaded Iraq to release the poor suffering Iraqis from a brutal dictator. Okay, why not invade Cuba, then? Or North Korea? Why pick a particular case and pretend it fulfills some universal ideal?
