Freedom On the March in Iraq

The BBC reports that three members, including the coach, of Iraq's Olympic tennis team were murdered in Baghdad for wearing shorts. This is the reason (well, at least the latest version of it) that we're over there: because freedom is on the march. This is why we've sacrificed 2400 American lives and $300 billion dollars. So roving gangs in the civil war can assassinate whomever doesn't abide by their strict Islamic law. Whether it's women having to wear veils and burkhas, or athletes not being able to compete in shorts in the seasonal heat, this is why we're there. This is the "noble cause" for which George W. Bush says Casey Sheehan and all the others died. This is why more must die so we can perpetuate the situation in freedom loving Iraq.
