Obviously not! To compare the Iraq war to the World Wars is ridiculous. A better comparison would be the conflict in Viet Nam. Since I was a wee sprout through most of that (and non-existent for the earliest years) I don't really recall what sort of liberties were infringed upon, from my history classes, I don't recall that there were near the restrictions during Viet Nam as there were during the World Wars.
