"We" being Murricans. As the then Commander-In-Chief put it:
Quote:
Our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan is clear to our service members -- and clear to our enemies. Our men and women are fighting to secure the freedom of more than 50 million people who recently lived under two of the cruelest dictatorships on earth. Our men and women are fighting to help democracy and peace and justice rise in a troubled and violent region.
-George W. Bush, November 11, 2003
