For the Americans, I say this; if you're happy to give into every president that comes on board into administration and follow their lead, then fine, so be it. Just remember that a presidency is more than one person, so you have the right to fire anyone in that presidency. Being patriotic just because you think you have to, is pretty stupid. You should question what your government tells you.

To the non-Americans or "haters", I only have to tell you that most Americans are patriotic, but they fall short of wanting to die for every single thing America does, because for the most part, the government does not speak for Americans... and it would be a misconception if you thought America was perfectly represented on this forum. The opinions I've seen in defense of this war are held with the simple minded and uneducated.

Sensible persons who see their fellow countrymen defend a cause that is obviously without any merit, keep silent so they won't be held in the ranks of coward or non-patriot. The truth be said, we all need one another. We could not function properly if we didn't put every effort possible to prevent the act of war.

For those that find comfort in war and have some deep rooted disorder that requires them to feel above anyone else, your time will be short. The ultimate goal for every human being should be peace, it should be prosperity.

You can't put people in the same group just because it makes you feel better. You can't label a person a terrorist without putting his peers in the same category, you also can't go after one thing and ignore another thing which is equally responsible.

You are quite the diplomat. Ever consider a career in diplomacy? Seriously.

You have a better pulse on America than most people on the board.
