i also have family members in the Armed Forces (in Iraq as we speak), and do i get all huffy-puffy when somebody mentions the My Lai Massacre? "we were defending FREEDOM!!", right? I am an American (whatever that means, anyways), and i dont see any problem with disagreeing with our actions, both domestic and international.

patriotism is dangerous. esp blind patriotism.

I really don\'t care about AMERICANS criticizing what we do.

I just can\'t handle other nations telling what WE should do.

For example, the tsunami donation money thing... That French U.N guy said America was \"stingy\" and that we should give more. What that twat doesn\'t understand is that it is OUR tax money that is being used, not his. And it is OUR choice on what we do with it, not some french twats/:roll:
