Questioning the government is not a bad thing. But there comes a point, when it is no longer mere questioning, and it becomes harmful. Osama and other terrorists/insurgents have learned many lessons over the years, starting from Lebanon through Mogadishu, and now into Iraq. If they put on the heat, the American public will become weak and fold, Osama called us the paper tiger. To me there is a big difference in questioning and being patriotic which is completely legit and legal and agreed that it should be done; and then taking to it a point were it is unpatriotic heeding the war effort and giving aid and comfort to the enemies. As it goes we are committed to Iraq, we need to finish what we started on our terms and no one elses, anything else would be totally moronic and only harm our country further.
