For you, Americans always wear the purest White Hat, while the Communists and Nationalists, and now the Islamists, they always wear the darkest black hat. You mean we're deluded in thinking our country and system isn't better than Communism and the Islamism of OBL? Being able to recognize shades of gray is one thing. Thinking everything is gray is something else. The Soviets would take people who didn't "think correct thoughts", label them as insane, put them away forever in asylums and Gulags. There are many Americans who think the same kind of thing should be done, to the unpatriotic "wrong thinkers" here. Good example. The Soviets did lock dissidents up, lots of them, as both insane and criminals. Yet we're not going to do that. You're in no danger of that ever happening to you because of your thought or speech. Heck, insane people can't even be locked up in the US unless there's testimony that they're a danger to themselves or others.
