    "this is basically a war for the American imperialistic interests"

    It is a "war" to remove Saddam's weapons of MD.

      a lot of people who say they love their country also start statements with I'm not racist but....

        Agree with MtG and Kontiki.

        If you feel your government is acting wrongly, you're morally right to express that. To assume it makes one unpatriotic or anti-American is wrong.

          But loving blindly is not patriotic. Protesting, stating different views is however very patriotic.
          Loving your country, and disagreeing with it's leaders is not impossible.

          I'm pro-war in Iraq, I'm also pro-war in N. korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran to name few. If it stops in Iraq, I'm disappointed. The way I see it, let's get them all, or just forget it. Reasons: N.Korea has WoMD, Iran is supporting terrorist, and so is Saudi Arabia big time.
          We might also consider liberating the people in China.

            The thing is with left-wingers in the US, they'll criticise the government no matter what its policies are - that is unpatriotic, and that is what the current bunch of lefties are doing.

              Why didn't you start a poll on Russia? Too dull ?


              To answer your question, no it's not unpatriotic.
              It's essentially what the U.S. is all about, but a stinking Russkie wouldn't recognize that fact.

                That's because whatever party is in power in the US they won't have any policies acceptable to left wingers.

                  But no, only an imbecile embraces war.

                    Like any group ther will be multiple motivations among the protesters. The predominate sentiment among Vietnam War protest that I personally observed (almost certainly not a representative sample) 30 something years ago was clearly racism.

                      Oh come on! What WMD? Bush has shown us no evidence whatsoever and even if he could do that, then what's your problem? Don't you have WMD? Doesn't Israel have WMD? Doesn't South Africa have WMD?

                      It is time to end with these silly excuses.

                            Israel or South Africa will not be first users of WMD. Iraq could well be. Therefore Iraq's need taking off them.
