Go read the letter published by Stephen Moore, it's from a US Soldier stationed in Iraq. He tells the story of how Iraqi's are trying to grab onto their new found freedom and how this will benefit us in the US. Here's one paragraph from the letter:

A lot of people have asked, why we are here. The short answer is that we are here to protect American interests. What then, are the bases of American interests? To me the simple answer to this question is to replace tyrany with freedom and liberty. I watched a speech by President Bush yesterday as he addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars. His position is that free societies are peaceful societies and I agree with him. He said that we are trying to help Iraq and Afghanistan develop into free societies and he hopes that it will spread to other parts of the region. I agree with and support his efforts 100%. It is a worthwhile effort.
