mods, please move to the appropriate forum if this isn't it.

Lately I've been involved in more than one conversation involving the latest politics about the United States, George W. Bush, and our troops in Iraq. Too much I've seen and heard people verbally bash these three things. I am not of the type "Love it or get out," as I respect everyone's right to their own opinion, and giving my opinion I want to address these three things.

United States- (Fact) The country in which I was born and grew up in. (Personal feeling)I love it, will always love it. I will show my love for my country for flying my flag, speaking the official language of English, paying my taxes, obeying the laws, and protecting it with my life if need be. I make no apologies for any of the above nor will I stop doing any of the above just because it may offend someone.

George W. Bush- (Fact) current U.S President. Elected by majority vote according to the Electoral College.
(Personal Belief) I did not vote for him. I do not agree with all of his decisions. I do believe in the fact that while I do not necessarily sway toward President Bush's choices, he is still our President and I support the Office if not the man.

U.S. Troops on foreign soil- (Fact) there are U.S. Troops stationed in countries other than the United States.
(Personal Belief)The troops have made their choice to join the military at one point or another. They are fulfilling a contract that they by their various reasons, a choice that they made. They are now fulfilling the orders of their commanders, the Chief of which, by the laws of America, happens to be the President.

(My opinion to follow)
If you do not like the state of affairs, then do your job as an American Citizen or Legal Immigrant. Vote when and where you can, make the choices that put the wheels into motion to get the outcome you desire. Making your opinions heard is wonderful. That is our RIGHT of Free Speech. But I ask and implore you that while you are debating with your fellow countryman, do not degrade his values for supporting his country.

I wish peace to all, and mercy until it is.
