Iraq was never a threat to our right of free speech
It is often asserted in letters to the editor that U.S. troops in Iraq are defending the constitutional free speech rights of those who oppose the war. However, Iraq did not attack the United States. Iraq did not threaten to attack the United States. Iraq did not have the military capacity to attack the United States. Iraq had no connection to 9/11. So, once and for all, our troops in Iraq (all honor to them), whatever else they may be doing, are not defending our right of free speech, because Iraq was never a threat to that right.

1. Ironically, it is the Bush administration that is the greatest threat to

our right to free speech...and all the other rights that are supposed to be guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
With each passing day, they are taking away more and more of our rights.

EDIT: As has been sarcastically suggested, we need to have the Canadian Mounties come across the border and topple this horrible regime and restore a democratic government to this country.

2. Extra ironically....

Bush said yesterday that passing the PATRIOT ACT II would help protect our civil liberties :wtf:

3. Sadly, lots of Muricans believe that crap

George Orwell couldn't have a better example of his double speak.
