I'm all for patriotism. But this isn't like when the Yankees come to town and you tell the guy next to you from NYC to eat sh$t and die because he's wearing a Jeter jersey.
It's almost like many people here have the same mentality of Kim Jong-il - "We are the supreme leaders of all. The entire world is against us, when they should be bowing to our might."

You are taking an extreme position here JD. I don't think anyone should be apologizing for what the US has done in Iraq. We have lost lives to free a country from a brutal dictator. Something to be proud of. Our men and women are doing the right thing over their.
We do more for the world then anyone. If we have to remind the world of the sacrifices that were made then I see know problem with it. What if the US just ignored what went on beyond our borders. Not the utopia of a world that you envision. Like it or not, the world needs a strong US.
Your Yankee anology was pathetic in how it lacks respect for what the USA has done.
