Asking people if they are ashamed of being American serves no purpose but to insult and anger people and evades real issues and underminds the good America has done such as sending their young to fight in the Gulf War, which benefited all our countries and that is something to be proud off.

The US Government does not ask the approval of its people on every issue, GuestJanet should wait and see if Bush gets re-elected before she writes off the American people, and yes I may not like the head in the sand attitude to IRA funding, I have to admit that America does more good than harm and on that issue what is there to be ashamed off - trying to keep world peace- how can people be ashamed off that? But America has to admit to its failings in doing so that would be something to be proud off.
