Try and get away from seeing people as sterotypical racial groups. There are some very nice "japs".

The point I'm trying to make is that the US troops would have to have killed large numbers of Japanese civilians because they were going to fight with the Japanese army.

The perception of the definition of freedom as: Being able to exist in a democratic society and within the system it creates; seems a releative statement to me. You must be a slave to that system to exist within it - hence you are not truly free. You are not even allowed to smoke a spliff - you are not truly free. You are at a stage of the evolution of social systems, which may offer more freedom than some other social systems, but in large part enslaves you, just like all the other social systems. This social system is what you believe in and call 'freedom'

Just because there are different degrees of freedom does not make it subjective.

I agree - but can you objectively say that existance in the USA is one of true freedom? You are not free to do as you wish - you are a prisoner of the laws/rules of the system (and the way GWB is going the restrictions are getting greater and greater)

Of course not. I don't think anyone here is saying that. But to protect what freedoms you have is still protecting freedom.

As is John Kerry. We are on a path which will not be stopped by either of the major parties.
