i kinda have to agree with most of that point. it would be hard to understand why the rest of the world has to get involved in what SHOULD be an arab problem handled by the major arab leaders such as saudi arabia and egypt. but they are too busy counting their american dollars, driveing their european luxury cars, and kissing up to their islamic secularism to want to control one of their own. it is no small wonder they are creating suicide bombers when they can't even keep their own houses in order. my grandfather was in WW II, my uncle died because he went to viet nam. i wouldn't say the ideals they fought for were worthy of trivializing and disgracing. but i would say that protecting every americans' right to express those ideals, even if they don't go along with yours, is something i would fight to the death to protect. that, to me, is patriotism. not some flag. as a side note, it is strange how some people can get excited by the thought of burning the american flag when the constitution [ the very thing the flag is supposed to be a symbol for] is trashed every day by our own government and by people who want to make everybody think as they do.
