What is your home country? What would you be willing to do for your country? Would you die protecting it? Would you live supporting it? Just curious.

I live in the US. How far would I go? \n"when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security"\nThat far if necessary...\n\nWould I die defending it? Yes, and all it stands for...\n\nWould I live supporting it? I pay taxes, therefore yes. Supporting my country and supporting my president are 2 different things, though.\n\n“A patriot wraps himself around the flag to defend it; a scoundrel wraps it around himself to defend himself”

Because we smell nice?  LOL!  Because I am proud of my country and of being an American.  How would it look if I treated our visitors like crap?  It's no sweat off my butt if you want to come to my country and live.  We are the melting pot.  We all came from somewhere else and guess what?  Some of our most incredibly beautiful people here are all the result of mixed races.  I am friendly because I feel that I was blessed to be born here and I don't mind sharing the wealth this beautiful country has to offer.

Why don't you Americans get out of the country and let the Iraqi's handle their own problems? Imagine your country in the Iraqi's place, would you like to be rescued by conquering hero's (actually villains with a false cause- where are the WMD's?).\n\nAnd if you are dying, you are also killing, and killing unarmed civilians too. Well it's your own elected Representatives that sent you out to do the kill, what did you expect, the natives would be too terrified to shoot back? \n\nWould your countrymen react passively to invaders?\nLook at any country that the US has interfered in-they end up destroying it completely- be it Vietnam or Afghanistan or Iraq - why doesn't the US of a start minding it's own country?\n\nOn a personal note, all I can say is stay alive kid, and do let live - the Geneva convention is there and don't break the rules. You'll only end up making the world hate your country more, and that'd be a pity, for it is one of the greatest countries in the world after mine though!\n\nI am not an Iraqi or Muslim for your info.\nst

sounds like terrorism to me.   How could you want to declare war on your own country-if you don't like it emigrate!

I don't think we have reached the point of no return but I do think we are dangerously close to getting to that point.  I don't pretend to be a  political expert by any stretch, just an average person so I may be wrong, but it seems to me that we are way too anxious to go all over the world to fight battles for who ever cries for help while leaving our own borders wide open.  We have terrorism going on in our own country everyday with freaks like the guy who went into the Amish school and shot 10 little girls killing 5 of them.  I don't know what the average daily number of homicides is in this country but I know that in our state capitol, the number this year is staggering.  Drive by shootings, murder - suicide and random acts of violence are nothing but homeland terrorism.  That, coupled with the horridous influx of illegal immigrants has made this a scary place to live.  I think we need to stop trying to save the world and work on saving our nation.  I completely support our troops and the work they do every day all around the world and am actually the mother of a military person but I still think we need to use our military here at home to close our borders, protect us from incoming threats and concentrate on Homeland Security.  How can we save the world if we can't save ourselves?  (you said you wanted detailed answers! :)

I see where you are coming from very clearly.   And I must say I agree with you completely.\n\nYou are asking us to put ourselves in the shoes of  people from other countries and ask ourselves, how would we like to be treated as we are treating people of other countries.  \n\nI would feel that I was being taken advantage of, humiliated and completely disrespected.  I would also feel someone was trying to take over my land and its resources as well as my way of life.  I would also be able to tell that they were hiding their true intentions behind things like democracy, and a war on terror.\n\nI would not be a happy camper and would probably resort to defending my honor and people against the invading force.\n\nI'm lucky I am not from another country !

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

I think we should take care of our own before we worry about other countries.\n\n\ndp

I would support you doing that very same thing here in America. Please come home and put your work efforts back into our country for our people.

They are asking if you are willing to fight for your country.\n\nIf you are not, then you are welcome to relocate.

Ex slodier.\n\nI agree with you i got asked the same thing when i was in Bosnia. We don't ask to go there we do it for our country. What would happen to the world if we had no army protecting it. Civillians are all the same especially the ones who don't understand, Get a worth while job?  yet they work in a bloody factory packing cheese or something, Who needs to get a worth while job then.

Not enough information in your question to be able to say if I would feel threatened.  It would depend different things.  Is the leadership of the country hostile?  Do they say they want you wiped off of the map?  Is the leadership of the country trustworthy?  Does the leadership of the country have respect for human life and human rights?  Is the country stable?  There are a lot of things that I would need to consider to decide if I was threatened.

i am ashamed that you would abandon your country.  you can stay in Canada.  we dont want people like you here.  hey, 3000+ American civilians were killed just a few years back, dont ya remember?

I would show no mercy and I would take prisoners only under very specific circumstances.  War is a nasty business folks.\n\nIt would be a massive hunting exercise and special forces would play a critical role.  I would also ignore the ridiculous rants of anti-American types, especially those from that joke they call the U.N.\n\nI would not be running a popularity contest.  History would be the best judge of whether my decision was correct, not political hacks and others with ulterior motives.

Well, we would have more of stuff going on just like 911. Just alot more and alot worse. I think that we are over there keeping them in check for the most part and showing them how to run a country that will satisfy most of their people. I dont think we should necessarily stay over there to fight but we should atleast be helping the "good" people out to better their selves and their people. Who knows, it might change in a few years or so.
