>I see that the Merriam-Webster definition doesn't mention specific social system as a prerequisite for freedom. It does, however, list "the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action". So, forcing your model of freedom upon other nations would actually be coercion, which then makes them
not free by this very definition.

We are not imposing our model of freedom. The Iraqis are forming thier own government, based on their own Constitution, written by them.

>Same goes for democracy - you can't possibly think that the American model thereof is the only valid one.
I do not think it is the only valid one.
I this the American model is the best one. ;)
