I agree 100%. If we tank badly the next few weeks, then we might get a good Iraq related rally. But only if we tank badly.

Is this really necessary?

"national pride: we are so good at killing unarmed people - let's put American flag on every SUV"

If you said that in your own country, you would be shot - armed or unarmed. Here we put up with those who disagree with us as a testament to both the benefits and ugliness of free speech.

BTW, I have a flag on my SUV. One on my Neon too. It represents the virtues that our founding fathers instilled. I would imagine it would be hard for outsiders to understand, being filled with hatred for those who got it right.

Our nation is far from perfect, but it is undeniably better than whoever is in second place. Might I suggest you spew your hatred on the politics board? There are a few America haters that hang out there, you would be in good company.

You need a reality check on just who has been killing unarmed people and who has been the defender of those people. We are not totally guiltless, but I defy you to name another nation that has done more to defend others both militarily and with humanitarian and economic aid than the US. The sad thing is that we usually get nothing but criticism and hatred out of envy in return - even from our own citizens. Pathetic.

Please clean off your glasses.

Actually, chainik-- we are damned good at killing ARMED people! How many towelheads have you ever seen w/o a weapon? Saddam all dressed up and carrys, Arafat sleeps with his sidearm.
