Re: Anti-Americanism?

Anti-Americanism is a perjoritive term you are using to polorize the opinion of anyone that isn't part of the choir to which you are preaching.

I submit the ability to critize American policy and actions is the opposite of "Anti-Americanism." In fact this ability might well be defined as the essence of the American spirit and will.

To recognize the mistakes and evils the American government has inflicted upon others is the only way we can exercise our ability to make changes in policy for the better. This is one government capable of doing this, and this makes us unique.

To hide the facts, to gloss them over, to ignore them with the "my nation, right or wrong" mind set only prevents progress and change.

We want a better nation, a better world to leave to our children. It is a sickness to hamper the efforts to do this by trying to lable those efforts "Anti-American."
