Thanks for your comments, SLM3. IIRC, you aren't in the US right?
Regardless, the reason some US citizens might agree with SLM3's points isn't because we like complaining, only see the negative, etc.; it's due to the belief that these actions aren't in our country's long-term interest. That's what the discussion should center around--which actions will produce the best results? But we can't do that with people accusing people with a different opinion of harboring ill will towards the same country and ideals we share.
