Questioning our leaders during America's time of need after the horrible events of September 11th is disgusting and an outrage. The voices of dissent from the left potentially put our soldiers at risk by delaying the war which would have made Saddam more prepared. It was probably also detrimental to morale of the soldiers. Questioning the war on terrorism is betrayal and is the most despicable thing a person can do at this point and time.

These comments are simply unbelievable.  The whole foundation of a western liberal democracy is to remove this sort of stupidity.  I've seen them on television before...one person whos comments were on CNN about protesters against the war said they should be arrested for treason.

Well hello!  Get a clue...your government says it wants to bring democracy and freedom to Iraq and yet these people don't want it at home if it doesn't agree with their simplistic and narrow minded viewpoint.  Unbelievable!

In a democracy the whole point is to question your government, question your populace, and challenge everything right down to the bloody core of the country because thats what you're supposed to do.  And it shouldn't be felt less during a time of need but more during a time of need...the right course needs to be decided.  United in democracy, divided in opinion.  Its a good thing...if only the other 85% of the population could figure the thing out.

Goodness.

Why is it that a Canadian understand the basics of American (as in United States) patriotism better than most of the population of the United States right now?

I couldn't have said it better IceFire.

I did not say "why is it that a canadian understands DEMOCRACY...". Pay careful attention to what I said.  I said "American patriotism".

Yes, IceFire said "democracy". I was pointing out that he had summed up the very essence of American patriotism and that the rest of my country men didn't understand it.

Given that I never stated or implied that democracy was limited to the USA, what the hell is up with the "doubt" smiley?

Because we actually pay attention to our neighbours, unlike most of the American population? I dont like to generalise, but when you see things like Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans", its a little hard not to...

I bet this moron has a picture of Hitler on his wall. I read two posts by him and closed the window in disgust. Questioning leaders is an outrage? In America? Yeah, and hell just froze over.:rolleyes:

Seems obvious that we all think this fellow's views are somewhat extreme, but there is also such a thing as supporting the troops abroad. I saw news footage of a woman smacking a protester around the head - her husband had just been sent away to serve in Iraq and these people were standing on the dockside screaming 'warmonger' abuse at the sailors and soldiers as if it was their call. That woman got a tip of the hat from me.

And I bet he didn't have a picture of Hitler on his wall.

right. But Viggo Mortensen isn't picking on the soldiers. He's accusing the goverment.

Yeah, I kind of went a bit OT from what I'd meant to say, which was going to be about the government. I think I'll just go the pub instead.

A totally valid point...there is absolutely no valid reason for placing any blame on the troops going off to war or returning from it.  They are there to follow orders and do their duty.  A strong, proud, and dedicated military tradition runs in many countries to each of those nations benefits and there can be no justification for criticising people who stand up and put themselves in the fire to do something to defend their country.  These guys don't make decisions relating to the overall actions of the state...they do make moral and ethical decisions with regards to warfare.  I hope they make the right ones but its definately a tough call in almost all situations.

I get mad at the people who suggest that the protests against the war, against the governments leadership and so forth are an act of treason to which they are not and to which are the freedoms that the military has been devised to protect.

Oh and thanks mikhael, I travel quite a bit in the U.S. during the summers so I like to try and know whats going on down there when I can. :)

It's good to support the troops and your country. It's bad to say that questioning anything that the government says and does is an outrage.

[color=cc9900]Neo, it's a heated debate, stuff like this happens in the matter of course ^_^
I don't think I'll enter into this little argument. I'm growing tired of being pissed off at US leadership, I just ignore it these days.[/color]
