What planet are you living on and what "era" do you live in?
You are SO out of touch with reality, that I hesitate to even point it out to you........
Bush's invasion of a soverign country, under pretenses wrapped in the red, white and blue of hypocrisy and penciled in for accountants only, is an obscene way to market his "Freedom Rings" plan.

Although we may have broken certain terrorist cell groups up, and we may be making deals for the others.........I find your mental images reminicesnt of some long ago era where troops marched with their boots, waving flags for their Furher...........
Please..........
