If I am leading your list, please note that I am carrying an American flag.

All who choose can now place their right hand over their heart and face the American flag and say:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all."

And once you put that flag down, I'd be there to set the damn thing on fire! It's beyond me how people can worship a stupid piece of cloth. Blind patriotism is the most dangerous thing there is!

You never served in the U.S. military, I would assume. Plus, you are not an American. You are therefore exempt from being a patriotic American. You need not mind the business of patriotic Americans. If you do not care about the foreign policies of the U.S.A., that is your choice; however, criticizing American citizens for their patriotism is not called for, I believe. I restrain myself from criticizing the Canadian National anthem when I hear it.

Please please stop lying where I'm concerned. I was born and raised in the state of Massachusetts (making me an American by the way), spending the first 36 years of my life there. I became a dual citizen of both Canada and the US before I came to Canada, so you see that I am still an American.
I never did serve in the military, but my Canadian uncle served in WW2 where he was killed by the US in something they call "friendly fire". My grandfather served in WW1 and I have many many friends who have/still served in the military.
All my military friends agree with me, so there you go.

When your president created serious negative effects on the entire world, he made it our business and speaking of minding ones business, when did your buddy bush plan on getting the hell out of other countries and their business.

You continue to worship your madman, but don't expect much of a following.

Since I do not call into question your opinions, why do you insist on minding my business, relative to my opinion? I can only believe your opining about my opinion might reflect a denigrating of my opinion, by using the taunting terms, "buddy," and "worship"? You need not do that you know. You can let someone have his/her opinion without reacting in a less than accepting manner of another's opinion .

Sorry, if I thought you were only a foreigner. Thank you for explaining your status as a dual-citizen that is now in Canada. Regardless, "worship" is not how I relate to President Bush; I feel great gratitude for his keeping the country safe since 9/11. You should not make false accusations ("worship") about a person's feelings, since this forum really is a virtual meeting place of many strangers, and some that are not strangers. However, we though are strangers, so "worship," I believe, was inappropriate, and just some emotional usage of the language that can appear denigrating.

The main UN compound in Gaza was left in flames today after being struck by Israeli artillery fire, and a spokesman said that the building had been hit by shells containing the incendiary agent white phosphorus.

The attack on the headquarters of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) came as Ban Ki Moon, the UN Secretary-General, arrived in Israel on a peace mission and plunged Israel's relations with the world body to a new low.

I agree. Israel should just send in all their troops and do whatever they think needs to be done to protect themselves. Why use bombs when you can use people to kill people.
