Do you really love the USA? Do you remember what Kennedy said?\nHe said this, Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.\nHave we forgotten this?

What makes you ask this?  Do you think thee is a lack of patriotism in the US?\n\nIf so, I couldnt disagree more.  Even in a time where we are fighting a very unpopular war, there are American flags on every corner and a "support our troops" magnet on every 3rd car.\n\nOr maybe I just think that because I'm in the Air Force and live in a military community

To those that write in that the Kennedy clan IS the curse for the american people.  I say Get a Life!\n\nTed Kennedy keeps getting voted in by his constituents.\nThat means THEY like him.  Nobody else matters.\nJust the same as bush was reelected.  I think he is an illiterate hillbilly and not worthy to stand next to Mt. Rushmore, let alone the praise I have seen posted by some neo-con who hasn't voted in more than 2 elections.\n\nIn reply to your question, I have read on it, and believe that yes there is a curse.\n\nIt goes back to a trial and conviction of a witch, and a curse at the burning.  \nI have also read of a first hand report of someone who was at Pres. Kennedy's funeral.  There was evidence of the Kennedy's coming to claim one of their own.\n\nIf pres bush wishes to be counted as a real president, he should emulate President Kennedy!

i'm sorry, but...don't you think that WE are their enemy in THEIR book? And that they must think the same things about us??\n\nto the asker: i sure am not American, when it comes to people like you! i mean, can't you look at their side of the story for once? I think we have caused more dammage to them in the space of a couple of years than they have to us\n\nDo i dare say it? or is there a sliver of selfishness here?

Now, dont everybody jump on me at once, but i say yes.  I think we stick our noses where they dont belong, adn if their ways or customs dont agree with us, we find a way to make them look like a bad guy.  So basically, i think we should leave the other countries alone and concentrate more on domestic issues for awhile.\n\nAnd as far the answere below me goes....We have been bombed roughly 3 times in our entire existance by foreigners. So we are not being bombed all over the place.  What does Osama Bin Laden have to do Iraq and their freedom? If they want our help and they asked for it, then by all means i support it, but when theye didnt ask and we take it into our own hands, it means mind your business.  Maybe if your party wasnt so concerned trying to colonize the non western world, you would be able to see that.

I love the ideals my country was founded upon, but I can't go with whatever retarded campaigns the governement has going.  They are probably spying this question right now.  Limey Bastards!

I think your cute.\n\nI would never say that to another guy and I would feel a little uncomfortable saying that to a gay man.\n\nWhen I was small my family loved President Kennedy so much that we converted from republican to democrat and was the times when John brought catholics and Protestants closer together in Ir land.\n\nWhen ever I think of Bush and his christian religion I could barf and have to think of President Kennedy that never dragged his catholic religion into his politics while the president we have now drags his christian religion into it every day.\n\nI'm not catholic either and maybe I should dress up like a nun so we can go out in drag together.\n\nIt sounds like fun and if you think you should do it then maybe more men could talk to other men like this with out words of war.\n\nPeace

It sounds like you are an independent American capable of thinking and wanting what is right for the country. Now if we can just get our "leaders" to listen maybe we can fix this country.

Only people who say "love it or leave it" are the ones who believe that those are the only options. America was founded on freedoms. With freedom comes responsibility. It is not only our right, but also our duty as American citizens, that if we don't love it, we need to fix it. I love my country, but at the same time I know it's far from perfect. But rather than run away to another country with its own set of problems, I choose to stay here and do my part to "fix it".

That is SO wonderful.  THANK YOU!  This country needs more people to step up and be proud enough of their country that they are willing to fight for our rights.  That's what this country was made of.  People volunteering to protect and serve.  Thank You, you are doing a huge service to us all!!!

When I made the decision to serve my country, it was not because I was forced or coerced into it.  I made the decision to serve, because I saw something of value in this 'Nation of Freedom.'\n\nI lived within a few miles of Arlington, and on quiet summer afternoons, I'd go and visit the cemetery, and listen to the solemn beauty of Taps being played over the hills.  The notes seemed to linger in the air, and I knew then, as I know now, that without the sacrifices made by those buried there and throughout the world, I would not be free to answer this question today.\n\nI cannot describe what I do for a living.  I can't talk about it freely for the sake of my country.  But my desire to keep the confidences of the United States and to go to war for her, are as precious as my own heartbeat.  I promised to defend her against all enemies foreign and domestic.  This means I want to stop another 9/11, to prohibit another Oklahoma City bombing, and to provide for the freedom of her citizens. My decision to honor my oath has been worth the time away from my wife, my friends, and the places I love so much.\n\nGod knows, no one in their right mind wants to go to war or to be separated from loved ones.  I certainly don't want my family suffering the agony of being handed the flag covering my coffin.  But sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the greater good. \n\nWhen I was kid in Arlington, I counted it all blessing to be a citizen of this nation who has given the world freedom.  Iwo Jima, the beaches at Normandy, in Baghdad, in Vietnam, in France, in Germany, in Bosnia, in Leyte...so many places, so many honored dead.\n\n'Ask not what your country can do for you.' The United States has already done what some other countries have yet to accomplish.  It has given a new definition of freedom: Freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom from oppression, freedom to live life in happiness, freedom to fulfill dreams. \n\n'Ask what you can do for your country.'  How much is our freedom worth?\n\nI have bled for this country.  I would gladly do so again if my wife, and my children could freely hear Taps being played in Arlington without fear, or to go to church without restriction, or to speak their minds and their hearts when they feel compelled.  For their freedom, and the freedom of all of the citizens of America and her allies, I would gladly bleed for the United States again.\n\nThank you for this question.  And for all of those serving, those buried under the white marble stones, and those who have come home to their families wounded in body and soul, may I say to you that you have my utmost respect and all of my thanks.

I never said that.  I love America.  Although Republican's lost, I am still hoping that we can stop fighting each other and ALL be proud to be Americans.  That is on BOTH sides.

Miss, I am terribly sorry about what the USA did to your country. I was there. What we did was inexcusable. Saying I was ordered to do it is pretty lame. Your country, what I saw of it, was beautiful. The people I met and meet now are resourceful and have been pretty smart. I know the US trades with you now. Take care of your people. Be careful in dealing with the Western world. Do not let the multinationals strip your resources away.

About my own country?  I love it here but there are some problems:\n\n1. Terrible education for kids\n2. Crime\n3. Gas prices, shoot, prices of anything!\n4. It's great we help people in other countries, but\n   I think we need to help our own for a while.  We\n   have many homeless people, families with children\n   included, who desperately need our help.  Cutting\n   back on too many things that would help these people\n   and spending more on other countries doesn't make for\n   happy, patriotic citizens.\n5. Elderly people who can't afford their medicine.\n6. Healthcare, and I don't think the goverment should\n   pay for it, but I do think employers, who are driving\n   around in flippin' Cadillac SUV's should give a little\n   to their employees who make it possible for them to buy\n   their toys.\n\n7.  On a positive note:\n\n    Grateful to all those who do try to change anything that would help our country in any way.

First of all, even if you are genuinely from where you claim to be, even if English isn't your first language, Use the spell check feature that was so thoughtfully provided by Yahoo...  \n\nSecondly, as far as I know, we are currently in Afghanistan and Iraq, not Iran....(Do you know something that we don't? Seriously) \n\nThirdly, I assume you mean 'who are they kidding?' and 'who/what kind of people would vote for this?'  That in itself is a flawed premise. American citizens no more voted to go into Afghanistan or Iraq any more than the citizens of those countries decided to set in motion the events of 9-11.  (Also it's a Representative republic, not a democracy....)  \n\nPart of that is allowing people with opposing(if misinformed) viewpoints to speak their minds.  However, while there is 'freedom of speech' here, and I applaud your using that right, there are those Americans who have nothing better to do with their 'freedom' and spend their spare time posting similar comments  to a website such as this and portray themselves as something other than what they truly are.  \n\nI mean no offense, and if such is not the case, you have my deepest apologies...

What do you do when you want something from someone you can't beat up?  You kiss their as_s, right?\n\nWhat do you do when you want something from someone you can beat up?  You beat them up.  \n\nSo, they think they can intimidate us into giving them what they want.  Well, they're SORELY mistaken.  I'm fairly liberal, and I might have been cool about this, but they made a serious mistake when they started DEMANDING these things.\n\nAnd the lack of assimilation is ridiculous.  They're chanting things in Spanish that the citizens, those who vote for the freaking representatives and senators, can't understand.  This is extremely disrespectful.  They've won themselves over, but they've turned the rest of us away.
