what about the french 100 year war?  what about England and France, What about Germany WW1 and WW11, what about Japan WW11? China?  these countries are far more bloody than the US as we haven't existed as long as they have..\n\nRemember WW1 and WW11 were both started by Germany.  Japan bombed the US in WW11.. pearl harbor, but oh yeah, we aren't allowed to defend our selves, just France and England and the rest of Europe.

I agree. And by the way, docjim, there are plenty of us who have done our bit for the country and we LOVE it when someone can "snipe" because that's one of the rights we fought for. Let me guess ... you're not a liberal.

YOU'D PROBABLY SEE ANOTHER 5 STAR GENERAL IF AMERICA WOULD ACTUALLY DECLARE A WAR.  AMERICA HASN'T DECLARED AN ACTUAL WAR IN 65 YEARS.  ALL THE REST HAVE BEEN 'CONFLICTS'.

Well, America has been lucky.  Hopefully, we will continue to have it.  Heck.. We got the British soldiers fighting along side us now.  Thanks   \n\nI think Teresa F from Northern England answered pretty good, so I won't go into battles etc.  In fairness I will defend the British sense of humor.\n\nI have worked with some British soldiers and find them friendly and funny. Yes, the soldiers would joke around about the US soldiers be chaps from the colony or something along those lines, but they would take the ribbing just as well and with a smile on their faces.  Don’t take things so personal people, it’s like them saying hello and giving an open to their kind of banter.  They also do it amongst themselves, but they are always willing to have an American join in on the fun.

People are not dying for Amerika. They are dying for Bush and co. You are not dying for your country unless there is a war in your country. In this case there is not.  People are dying for rich men's ideals and agendas.

I am a liberal. Do I hate America? Of course not! I love America as much as you do, maybe more. I love the ideals of the Declaration of Independence where it states that all men are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I cherish the Constitutional notions of checks and balances. I worship the freedoms laid out in the Bill of Rights. I take seriously the welcoming call of the Statue of Liberty to give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.\n\nWhat you see as "hate" would be more properly described as "disappointment". I am disappointed when our leaders and our nation stray from these sacred American ideals. If there is any hate, it is not for America or Americans, it is for the leadership that betrays America.\n\nI say that if you love something or someone, then you are particularly concerned when that something or someone turns out to be broken or sick. When your child has a fever, you don't waste time bragging to everyone that he's an honor student, you take him to the doctor. And you don't accuse the doctor of hating your child when he points out that he has an infection. You thank the doctor, you get the prescription antibiotics, and you work hard to heal your child.\n\nFurthermore, you aren't "blaming the child first" by noticing that the child is sick. There's nothing wrong with pointing out America's problems. If you can't identify the problems, you can't begin to solve them. When America has done something wrong, however, I'm more than happy to blame America first. For example, America illegally invaded, occupied, and tortured the people of a sovereign nation that was no threat to us. Who am I supposed to blame for that, Zimbabwe?\n\nI have no intention of moving to France, the country that gave us modern democratic political philosophy, crucial military support in the Revolutionary War, that big green lady in the New York harbor, and steadfast alliance for our entire existence. As I've already pointed out, I love America, too, so there's no reason I should leave. Loving America means staying here and putting in the hard work needed to see America live up to her ideals.\n\nIf I see a friend doing something that could hurt him, I don't cheer him on and tell him he's doing the right thing. Admittedly, that would be the easiest (or most amusing, in a sick kind of way) thing to do. The harder—and more responsible—approach is to warn my friend of the dangers of his actions. It might piss him off, but I have to be willing to take that chance.

I doubt it.  What could stoke the fires of passion in a holy war more than fighting against the inevetable?  Most Americans don't seem to realize that is how they see this.  In their eyes, they're not "evil-doers."  The way they see it, they are trying to save the rest of the world from us.  If you saw yourself on the side of the righteous rebels, would YOU ever give up?

I'm really not sure, i would want to fight for my birth country yet i dont know anything about it. I dont know whether they're in the right or wrong and who i will be fighting alongside. If i fight for the country i have lived in most of my life, then i would have a patriotic feel.

It seems truly befitting of a man who has seen the horrors of young men and women dieing to have such a sentiment.  Preventive wars are immoral and illegal under international law.  You end up killing more than the enemy, as our current war has clearly illustrated, and causing more problems than you [can] solve.\n\nHe also said: \n\n"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Hell yeah, were 12 and 1 in wars (unless your from the south,than your 11 and 2). And if we wanted to we could have blown North Vietnam off the face of the earth.\nAmericans were born to fight,and Americans never tolerate losing. We were bred to rule the world.

There was a great essay I saw on this the other day, here:\n\nhttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/26/155350/677\n\nThanks to the original writer, I couldn't have said it better myself.  You can't wage a war against an emotion.  It's like the "war on love" or the "war on sadness", the "war on regret".  You just can't "win" or "lose", there is no goal.  I'm still trying to figure out how people got Iraq mixed up with "terrorism", despotic and tyrannical dictator and murderer, sure, but not a terrorist.

Naturally!!  Would expect every American to be interested in securing our borders and enforcing our laws!

I'm proud to be an American, but i do not share the same views as most of my fellow country men. it is wrong for the media or any one else for that fact to blame an entire county for what a few people do. no matter what country you come from now we all started in the same place. made by the same God. most of us wish to help other countries while still some Americans want to fight and go to war. the only time i believe god would approve of was is if it were to protect the innocent. fighting to conquer or revenge is just plain wrong. God didnt put us here to kill each other.
