Well, Did you vote for Bush?
hell no, not that it mattered, the Supreme Court put that assclown in power. The 2000 elections were the worst elections ever. You had the choice between Clinton's robot, or Bush Sr's idiot son... so I went and voted for Nader, at least the man was honest about what he stands for, I can respect that.

Very well. Do you think Saddam Hussien should be put out of power?
Yeah along with 2/3 of the rest of the world's leaders (including our own). We can't police the world its not our job, thats what the UN/NATO/other organizations were created for
...but that has nothing to do with being proud to be an American now does it?
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

True, but still, if you are anti-war, war being the only way currently to get saddam out of power, you say Saddam should be in power until he decides he feels like it.
I'm not anti-war in the least, just against this war. If we were to attack North Korea tomorrow, I'd be all for it, that is a real threat to us, Iraq? They aren't. Theres a whole thread about it if you scroll up a bit. There are other ways to get rid of Saddam, Bush just didn't want to try them because hes a brain dead monkey.

Freedom Fries chief?
Can anyone say "Iraq topic is disguise"?
lol, someone got the fries pun, great yeah, this topic is going to become another Iraq topic, but I'm getting tired of bandwagon patriots who think that the only way you can be "American" is by supporting Bush and his lil war.

Seems to be that way, at least on the internet. Proudness. once high in the American current events, now all but non-existing. 9-11 was, i suppose, not large enough to get through peoples heads that all enablers of terroeism must be stomped out.

search for my "why is 9/11 blamed for everything" thread, you are doing just that right now, quit being a bandwagon patriot and think for your own
... Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, has no ties to Al-Qaeda, unless you plan on providing some of that mythical "proof" that Bush Inc is hiding from the American public so that they don't create "mass hysteria" :rolleyes:

Sorry, but the US Government are enablers of terorism, as they trained Bin Laden.
Not to mention nearly all of south and central america...
And if the kid's referring to Hussein, well, WE did put him in power and ignored his sh*t for years and years because he was our ally against Iran...

Aye. Not a lot of governments are much better, at the end of the day they all have a few skeletons in their closets... but ignoring said skeletons just because you were born on one side of a line drawn on a map? Pathetic.
Incidentaly, LT, that Roosevelt quote is solid gold. Sums up the whole patriotism thing perfectly...

Beat me to it.
Leader-1 The US is singlehandedly responsible for some of the greatest terrorist acts in history. This ain't the stuff they teach you in school. Usually that is.
BTW Leader-1, you're skirting awfully close to Strawmen Fallacy country in your posts...
