<<I understand the feelings of the veterans who saw their comrades die for the United
States. I also understand their feelings when they grandly announce "my country, right or
wrong". Understanding their feelings does not keep me from believing that this is a more
subversive statement than any that ever crossed the lips of a flag-burner. Our
government is not automatically right because it is ours and because people have fought
and died for it. Knowing when it is wrong, and protesting when it is, is not only a right
but an obligation of citizenship.>>

Thank you for saying something sane and sensible, Steven. I think honest criticism of your country when you feel it is wrong is the duty of a true patriot.
