Whoops, sorry, I should have typed "patriotism" instead of "nationalism".

Your question strikes me as being the Have you stopped beating your wife? type and I don't really see a purpose in speculating that "if" Cheney and Rove did those things why would they do them? The Khmer Rouge did fight to expel invaders - Jacob would say it's because they were patriotic and I say it's because they were power-hungry despots. The Iraqi suicide bombers are killing their own countrymen as well as the occupiers - out of patriotism? No, they probably want to set up another Saddamistic regime. I don't know who revealed the CIA identity of Wilson's wife, and I don't feel misled about the true nature of the threat posed by Iraq, either. So the answer is, right now, I don't care.
