Well yes, it is. I have the liberty to look up bomb making
books. So do you. Why should we be different?

Because at this particular time, we've got an enemy with
agents on our soil trying to find ways to kill as many of
us as possible. The right to speak, own property, and
worship (or not) are essential. The right to borrow a book
from the municipal government without raising a red flag
isn't.

yes, it is!

As for the rest - typical "America bad" nonsense.
Judging a long dead past against an impossible ideal.

One Nation:
Defeated the Axis

With its allies.

Who admit they couldn't have done it without us

Feeds the poor of the world.

Whilst bombing part of the world.

In a targetted fashion, with a specific goal, and in a way
that seeks to minimize casualties

what is the specific goal? why are we killing so many Iraqi
civilians? why are we in Iraq at all, for that matter? Bin
Laden & his cohorts are in *Afghanistan*, you know, that
country Bush seems to ignore? while Saddam was a nasty
dictator, the US put him in power *and* neither he or his
country had anything to do with the terrorist attacks on the
US. while Saddam was in power there *were no terrorists* in
Iraq. he had zero plans of attacking the US, and no WMDs. so
what the hell are we doing invading a sovereign nation FOR NO
GOOD REASON (except to grab the oil & employ Halliburton)?
