I agree with SINSULL and with you too, Ron. I love my country too, but that certainly doesn't mean I support everything my government does. I doubt I'd have been one of the ones to boo "God Bless America" either. But I understand why people did - no one likes having other people's "patriotism" shoved down their throat, especially in times like these when the reason for the display and encouragement of such patriotism is so blatantly obvious and controversial. Turned-off sports fans are not known for their exemplary manners, by any means.


America's dismissal of the UNSC, refusal to support the International Criminal Court and subsequent attack on Iraq's sovereignty threatens my country too. Are we next up for "liberation" under the "Project for a New American Century"? Are we supposed to sit politely by and tolerate/encourage American patriotism in our country while that happens? Would you "respect" us more if we did? I think noT!

There's a lot that I love about the United States of America. But right now, what I love about it is often obscured by anger/concern over it's dangerous and arrogant foriegn policies and ambitions.
