It is also offensive that you even dream that others should not comment on your government's actions and, where warranted, with valid criticism. Any nation which condones torture, inhibits their citizens from due legal process, invades other nations under false claims and in the processing killing tens of thousands, is open to criticism. Sure, your nation is not alone, - North Korea meets the same criteria and is in the same boat, but that is not an excuse. If you don't like criticism - elect those who will not operate a rogue state, but elevate it to the level of a civilized country.

i never said i care about criticism. i am saying thats all you do. you criticise. you attack. you do so without rest,... attacking ONLY one country, one government, one leader and one people. you desperately grasp at any chance to do so. you continually insult 300,000,000 people for the behaviors and attitudes (real or percieved) of a few. only 26% of registered voters voted for bush and you are even too naive and blinded by your own ignorance and insecurities to recognize that you primarily insult those in the US who wholeheartedly agree with you and your views.
you're a child. you not only do nothing but sling insults (using the thin veil of "criticism") but you hunt and dig and troll for any opportunity to do so. thats what you and directfiesta do. play naive and innocent all you want. pretend there isn't a fairly consistent pattern of behavior if thats what you need to do to prevent your own world view from being torn down and replaced by reality. you are entitled to an opinion and to criticise, but you guys go far beyond that. you are on a mission... and from time to time i stop... i look at my friends, my family and our lives and think "these guys hate you and you the sad irony is that you would go to the ends of the earth to help this person if this person needed help"
comment and criticism is one thing
constant, mindless and even reflexive attacks that do everything but address the issues or pretend they are unique to the US is another. thats not criticism. thats not debate. thats not discussion. that is quite simply, nothing more than immaturity.
