I agree with you.
But I had an awful lot of people try to stomp me into the ground because I refused to agree that Saddam was a coward. Untruths are never patriotic, simply because people want to believe them, and ignorance rarely (never?) adds to your defensive or offensive position. I want the best for my country, so I would like it to be as smart and informed a country as it can be- at the moment I feel it has a looooooong way to go.

I have just started reading a fascinating book about Haiti- it is called The Immaculate Invasion (after the history of Haiti is out of the way, it is about the US invasion). It may be one of the best written non-fiction books I have ever read. It reads like poetry- although the details, at least in terms of Haitian history, are truly horrible. Amazingly horrible. Makes the Congo look tame. If you have not read it, you might like to.
