Someone needs to point out that while the the aim of bringing freedom to the world is indeed a noble one, we currently do not have an official policy in place that states who, when, where and why America as a sovereign entity should offer our aid to affect such change.

Thus the hypocrisy of our leaders. Why Afghanistan and Iraq and not Rwanda, for example? It does not say much about our nation when we only take action in cases that are self-serving.

It also needs to be pointed out that the reasons for doing such things need to be made clear to the American people, and there needs to be accountability for knowingly misleading the public with faulty information. We were lied to about Iraq and the WMDs and therefore the Bush administration no longer merits any trust for any further actions. Even less so since he seems to exalt those in his cabinet who screw things up the most.
