denny, fellow philadelphian, i was raised believing this was the best country in the world. i live near an airbase ans the "sounds of freedom" as they put it made me well with pride. BUT...the more i travel the world, and the more we get screwed up, the more i see how the US is seen from the other side, the more embarrassed i am to be american. i am sorry, and i may grow to change my mind, but it is MHO for now.

yeah, what she said. unless you weren't asking what it meant and instead were asking what I think the most egregious event of the year was, in which case my answer would be something else entirely.

Hi Gay!!! Miss you guys. Are you working today? I'm having a day off, not to be confused with an off day. :p

SweetJ - When I said what I did it was not to say that Canadians are better than others that leave their homelands to move to the US, just, generally, more educated. We have it very easy here, compared to most immigrants, and our main reason for leaving is greed. Most who immigrate do so because of poverty, war or total lack of opportunities.

As for "plugging" asians, I could not and would not - nor could I "plug" any other group. My family and friends are like the United Nations and I like it that way! :p

You are very wrong on this!

ok, agreed on everything you said. i guess i didnt state it well. i was wondering if any other ethnicity was being under scrutiny for immigrating other than mexicans, and only asking cuz it would be so ridiculous to picture a wall being built between the us & canada.

my thoughts are flowing in the right direction, but my words aren't.

i never mean any offence to anyone. i was born jewish, which relinqushes my right to judge anyone's ethnicity.

ps - where ever i go, if i go, i would maintain my citizenship, either solo or dual.

i have always lived by this credo: i make the best educated decisions i can, with no regrets.

Chris, Nsn, still disagree with you. I will go with Law, a possible dual system. Leave the term marriage to it's previously determined definition.

Law,

"I DO care if they go into full blown civil war and kill themselves, in large part because we helped create the circumstances that are setting that up."

I care right along with you if there's civil war in Iraq...but let's be fair here, sectarian violence would have been occuring whether we interrupted or not...it was going on there for centuries before we arrived, and I'm sure it will continue when we're gone.

Comparatively, it would be like Catholics killing Baptists killing Presbyterians etc....here in the U.S.

Did we destabilize the Iraqi status quo by entering? Yes. But the civil war was just behind a curtain, simmering. Now it's exposed. And now Americans are supposed to be able to stop it?

Now we've just given fanatics a new chant....

We need to realize that democracy has to be not only "for the people and by the people" but also wanted by the people. We can't force it first, then expect a nation to buy into it.

Even still, I am happy to be an American, where we are allowed to speak about our government pro and con, without fear. God Bless America (anyway).
