If political views were drinks, this one would be water. 3/4 of the world is covered by it.
No, I'm saying that people have a right to fight for something that they believe in; now-a-days, we aren't drafted, so you only join the fight if you want to, not if the president wants to.
Over-patriotism would be openly declaring that America is better than every other country. Ever. Sure, America may be arrogant a lot of the time, but we try not to be complete pompous assholes.
I agree with what Wise said a couple threads ago; terrorists hate America because if they didn't have a target for their violence and anger, their system would fall apart. Hezbollah was an example of a 'good' terrorist organization; they kept their generically evil activities to a minimum and greatly helped the Lebanese people. Al-Qeuda (?), though, is a corrupt organization politically and relies on its wars over their made-up imaginary friend Allah to keep support rallied to them. If they were peaceful, nobody would take their shit.
