Saddam was only one terrorist among others who was in power and has been taken down. Saddam during his reign had commited many terrible acts against humanity by terrorizing his people and the only reason they supported him was out of fear that their families as well as themselves would be murdered. That was how he ruled, one less terrorist in power. The fact of the matter is this...the wars over the years have been fought in places thousands of miles away from our homes...they brought the fight to our front yard now we are taking the fight right back into theirs.

If Moore was patriotic he would do more than to make these movies that try to make up the minds of the public instead of what a good filmmaker is supposed to do which is to allow the audience themselves to decide who is the villain and who is the hero. Loathing the government is one thing but to outwardly say that you are against your government and not do anything about such feelings IS wrong. I meet many people daily who ask me why do i volunteer to deploy, to serve my country, to give my life for Mad Man President Bush. And i say..."If i don't, who will?"

Don't get me wrong, just because you haven't served in the armed services doesn't mean you aren't patriotic or that you don't love your country. There are different levels of patriotism and loyalty to one's country. Many civilian children, wives, husbands of the one's i serve with wait home every day wondering whether they will see their loved one come home again. THat is a service to our country that we appreciate.

I will not say that you are unpatriotic but if you do in fact support your troops the next time you see a man or woman in uniform or have an ID card shake their hand and just say welcome home!
