US has done a lot of good for the world and continues to be the largest foreign aid giver in the entire world.

However, in the same turn US has done a lot of bad to ensure she keeps her dominant presence. WTO, World Bank, etc are all ran by US and all have policies and actions that help ensure US dominance. US is by far the largest seller of weapons worldwide, even to warlords and dictators by large.

Being a true patriot isn't just glorifying US greatness, it is also demanding we change our immoral actions as well.

I don't care how you paint it, Iraq was a horrible decision. The loss of life on both sides and the fact that an average Iraqi is far worse off now than under Saddam proves this.

It would have been smarter, a lot less life loss, and a lot less international backlash if we had just used missiles to destroy the sites we thought were WMD. Basically what Clinton did in Africa to supposed Al-Queda sites.
