Re: "The 'I don't' response is the typical denial of the obvious," Everyone is entitled to their opinions --- and opinions can be expected to differ, especially about such an important issue as "What is patriotism?" "...I also doubt he lives in the U.S. and that he's even a citizen...." Anything is possible, I suppose. He certainly could be lying about his citizenship (as could anyone here, I guess). In the final analysis though, what would that matter? Are you suggesting that ONLY the opinions of citizens of a particular country should be given any weight in that country? If so --- then nothing Americans say or propose about Iraq - or about ANY OTHER PLACE that isn't part of the 50 States or the territories - should be given any weight either... and only native 'Iraqis' views would matter in that place at all. So is that what you are really arguing for?

GZ, when Clinton was in office there were many, many posts of the same general tone as those you complain about. But then the posts were by Conservatives and Republicans railing against the Kosovo decisions, the tax increases, the alleged theft by China of nuclear secrets...the list goes on. The tone of those claims was not anti-American anymore than Monterey Jones' tone is....but it was anti-administration. Are you sure you are not looking at this from only one perspective. Being anti Bush is not necessarily Anti-American. Unless being Anti-Clinton was also being Anti-American. Agree?
