How are we defending our freedom in irak?

I totally get afganistan, but big bad sadaam, and his 3rd reich? C'mon son iraqis were not thinking about america until we invaded, that stunt lil moron bush pulled has cost thousands of american lives, oh and let's not forget the poor iraqis who have died by the 100,000s that never get mentioned in these topics, newflash they r ppl 2!!! Why the hell are we really in irak? And I was in the military so don't give me that wmd bull, or I not a patriot cuz I question my governments actions
