I am proud of my country, just not the idiots running it right now.\n\nAnd for those of you that said What Would Kerry Do? WE'LL NEVER KNOW, instead we placed a guy with an ALREADY bad track record back in to KEEP messing up.

I'm proud of the United States for a number of reasons. \n\n- We have a relatively fair system of justice. There are very few places that do as well as we do in that realm. \n- We have quite a bit of freedom guaranteed by our Constitution, and in fact defended by our justice systems. \n- We have a good history of promoting invention for reasonable profit. That has resulted in a LOT of important innovations. \n- We used our financial, military, and diplomatic resources to stop several major threats, including Hitler and Stalin. \n- We just this week stood up against the out-of-control domestic right-wing movement despite a propaganda network on a scale of those used by Hitler and Stalin. \n\nWe're far from perfect, and we may still fall to our religious extremists, but there is no doubt that the United States has been an overall force for good, and a vital one.\n\nI could find many good things to say about many other countries as well. I don't think this needs to be a contest between countries: it'd be a dull and lesser world if they were all alike.

I agree! It seems as though things in our government have gotten out of hand. I don't know if it would take a good president or the united states keeping our noses to ourselves. Its like we are trying to fix the world and we can't even fix ourselves. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks our America is in need of dire help. Good job for speaking out.

We, the citizens of United States of America, continuously speak of Peace, and Love to each fellow man and woman.  We allege to being a nation of peaceful citizens, opposing injustice and human brutality.\n\nWe consciously and religiously worship god, regardless of our sins.  \n\nWe, the citizens of the United States of America, represent our country.  We are our government, whether we like it or not.  The sins our government may or may not have committed are the responsibility of it's citizens - us.\n\nIf our Presidents is disrespectful, we are disrespectful.  We are our country, we are our President.  \n\nWe are equally responsible for the negativity circulating around our globe.  As Americans, we are just too arrogant to admit this.\n\nIt may be wrong to continue to use god as our armor, falsly repenting during holidays and disasters.\n\nI am not proud that we are so disliked.  I personally have no fear of God, only Love.  I only wish the entire world would see us for the beautiful nation we really are.

Still comparing things that are irrelevant to each other?\n\nBy the way, when did we take Iraq?  Seems to me the fighting is still going, despite "Mission Accomplished."

GIVE THEM RESPECT !!!!\nI am NOT a Viet Nam Vet, however, I am a Viet Nam era Vet.  But, just because I was not sent to Viet Nam, does not make me any less proud.

It's good to see some people here opening their eyes. However he still has 1 1/2 years to destroy everything... I move for impeachment on the grounds of committing war crimes, waging an unjustified war, damaging the American reputation world wide, invasion of a country with no proof of wrong doing, a disregard for intelligence stating that there were no WMD's in Iraq, and using fear of terrorism and disasters to try and hold office. Pry those eyes open people and join me in creating awareness of Bush and his crooked politics. Why do you think most countries don't like Americans anymore? Because they get more of the real story. Do you think Bush will let our news broadcast information on how much of a criminal he is? HELL NO! It is our duty as American Citizens, and as a Capitalist society to make sure that we are not the aggressors! Muslims do not attack us because they are jealous of our way of life. They attack us because we are forcing our way of life on them, and using torture and fear to justify our "Lawful" actions. That is called Fascism, and it was supposed to die with WW2. \n\nIgnorance is your choice in this country.. please don't choose to ignore the people dying in other countries to push democracy, when democracy is not what the people in that country strive for. Who are we to oust a government, even if they harm their own people. History has shown that when the people are ready, they will lead a revolution and make the necessary changes to secure the success of their country in the world. If we are to continue as a world power it is our responcibility to make sure we do not endorse negativity and oppression.

hums "God Bless America" after reading all this  liberal dribble....lets see we helped save France , England , Germany ,Canada, and many other countries,but instead of taking them over , we spent our money  helping them rebuild, just like we are doing in Iraq now... America has been a big brother to many countries, forgiving debts, and showing generosity  in all parts of the world . the thanks we get are accusations and a lack of support.guaranteed these same countries would look to America if they need our help again, and in spite of their blatant  lack of  support and  respect now... we will continue to come to their aid

Yes it is, we was never very well liked in the world but now we are hated. Bush has made many enemys with his lies and actions.

We should not support this war at all. Our president just wanted to show that he was reacting in some way. However, he has created a mess in Iraq.

I'm a proud American too.  I wish people would see that we are gettin more and more like the old Soviet Union every year.  We keep voting in the same bozo's in every election.  The government has become an adjunct of a plutocratic elite who have no vision beyond the next financial quarter.  \n\nDamn disgrace.

Actually we hold job as president too important in my opinion. The president works for us, not the other way around. Bush has been telling the American people what to do and how to think about certain situations and i find this to be completly wrong. Like I mentioned above, the President works for us and he should do what we want. My loyalties belong to this country, not its president.

Before I answer this question, I'd like to bring up something that really bothers me deeply concerning Iraq, would we be so regretful if we had successfully converted Iraq to a democracy with complete peace? \n\nThe question I have been screaming BEFORE the war started has been, "Does the means justfiy the end?" What if this end had been a success? Would most be sitting around feeling good about America?... feeling good about themselves? ... even though current civilian Iraqi body count is over 600k?... even though we never had a valid nor justiable reason to occupy Iraq?...\n\nOf course you know my feelings on this... immoral means never justfiy an end even if that end is successful. What about all those ppl that have died? What about the loyal, committed soldiers that followed their country's orders... not just American soldiers btw. \n\nSo once again, we should not take any pride in any way, shape or manner for our leader's invasion of Iraq. \n\nIs there ever a time to take pride in participating in a war? I think so. I did an Army tour in the mid-80s then when Saddam invaded Kuwait, one of our allies, I volunteered to come out of inactive status to participate. Why? Because I truly thought we, as a WORLD, had progressed past the days of barbaric occupations of invading just because you are stronger than the other guy. I took pride in that war because I compared it to a bully beating up a little child... that we were fighting the bully. Now, we are the bully.\n\nI can't begin to describe in words the disappointment I have in my country due to our actions. And what gets me now is the length of time it took ppl to come to this realization. I was a voice from the beginning saying it was wrong... most of these ppl against it were the ones in 2003 with those ribbons on the back of their mini-vans, American flags outside their homes... telling me I was anti-American or unpatriotic for not supporting my president. \n\nI'm serious. How many of you out there reading this either didn't have an opinion or was pro-Iraqi war because you thought it was going to be a cake walk? You were so sure we would just walk over the Iraqis and be the WINNERS. You never stopped to ask about our reasons... were they justified. America is going to war and we are going to kick some *** then come home like nothing winning.. showing the world 'who we are'.\n\nFor example, that Cindy Shehan (spelling) that camped outside of Bush's home in Texas in protest of the war AFTER her son died in Iraq. Where was her protest before her son died? I'd be willing to bet that up to that point, she was one of those ppl driving those mini-vans proudly with the ribbons on the back before that. \n\nSome ppl compare Iraq to Vietnam. While I see some comparisons, believe it or not, Vietnam at least had a reason. Vietnam was about containment. Containment is a word used to describe the stopping of the spreading of communism of that era. While I never saw how the spread of communism threatens us, at least they gave us a real,honest reason. \n\nNow to get the core of your question... what should we do now, knowing what we know now about the lies?\n\nUp to a week ago, I was on the fence about this. I literally could not decide. On one hand, I don'f feel good about making a mess of their country, the 100,000s that have died then leaving them to somehow find a way. On the other hand, I was thinking we couldn't win... win in terms of ever helping those ppl to 'get along' in a civil manner.\n\nI have since, just in the past few days, come to a realization... we need to get out. Why and what caused my choice, decision? \n\nIt all came together for me a few days ago when I read about some Shiites that had kidnapped 25 sunnis, took them into the streets and then burned them alive. Not only did they do this, Iraqi troops stood by and watched and an American helicopter patrolling took no action.\n\nThis action was not the r

I'll say this loud and proud for all Americans...\n\nF*ck you.

I support our president.  We're fighting a tough battle, and I believe we're winning against the terrorists. ( way to go, Michael)

Inbrerd? lickbushandhisdick? That's your name?? If you announce by your name that you wish to fellate the President, why does it appear you hate him so? Rejection? It hurts, doesn't it? I feel bad for you, little guy. this is soooo sad... I have to go now.... Have a nice day, and I hope you feel better!
