Ignorance is strength

Does anybody still believe that the US is in Iraq to liberate it?

You do? What exactly do you think the word “liberate” means?

Comments

Heh. OED says it means:
1. To set free, set at liberty; to free, release from (something).
2. To free (an occupied territory) of the enemy; also ironically, to subject to a new tyranny.
3. To loot (property), to misappropriate.
4. To free from social or male-dominated, etc., conventions.

Look! All sides are right!

It's the greatest dictionary ever created with the help of a certified lunatic.
