I guess that would depend on how you define "necessary cause." I guess that adding a democracy in the Middle East and liberating millions is not high on everyone's agenda. Especially if it costs the lives of 2000 volunteers. It makes you wonder how they ever "sold" the liberation of France in the '40s at the cost of 10's of thousands of conscripts....Or the Battle of the Coral Sea for that matter.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
