The concept of freedom has been central to the so-called 'liberation' of Iraq and future imperial adventures in the name of the United States of America. But as can be seen, the general public's understanding of what constitutes freedom is at best poor - not least because their concept is relative to the state of liberty into which they were born and were raised. In the extreme, somebody who was born and grew up in prison would have no first hand concept of what freedom was.
