not only we didnt need foreigners to free us (nor did any other S.American dictatorship) as in fact it was the US itself who quite supported and even trained these S.American dictatorships grunts and secret polices.

Brazil didnt have foriegn troops invading because they were not invading neighbors, killing millions of its own people, breaking resolution after resolution etc etc.
Sadaam was a bad man and of course there are alot of bad men out there, but he had an embargo that countries like France, China and Russia ignored and profited off of the death and misery of the people there for cheap oil (and they were the biggest opponents to the war of course), he played games witht he inspectors. It would be the equivilent of the Germans shooting at planes in no fly zones and breaking resolutions during the marshall plan.
Its not like Freki was there on vacation
