I'm not sure ut I don't think that the USA can technically own another country.
Figures of speech are kinda neat, but really I think this is more about stopping the spread of terroists in the middle east and giving millions of decent people in the middle east the chance to live in a democracy. Men and women alike in that country deserve the right to live as free people.
Also, I never really understood the analogy about "you break it you own it". The counrty was rather broken long before we got there, with little or no hope of being fixed. Now at the very least the people of that country have a chance to have a future. weather they make pottery or not.
