Doug R, I'm afraid if the 'tin hat' fits....

If 'America' gets bashed, its because someone sees its fit for bashing, though regrettably, even people who very laudably declare "Not in my name" will get lumped in with those who seem to believe "My Country, right or wrong".

Sad to say, it seems apparent to me, from this, & other postings on the 'Cat, that you are one of the latter.

Having said that, you seem prone to flaming anyone who brings up a topic you dont feel like discussing anyway....whether its about this 'war' or not.
