I value your opinion.
And please no country bashing. I wish to keep this thread to its original intent and that is the issue of Rights and Freedoms.

Well I gotta tell you as a recent vet, and in fact I had just finished my tour Last june as some of you know, it was quite difficult to see my home town of NYC attacked. I cant fathom the total outcome of all the worlds chaos but I must admit that I would rather be here in America and have the ability as a citizen to change things as opposed to other nations who do not give that right to its citizens. My opinion is , to quote and paraphrase a certain Mel Gibson movie (Braveheart), that the government is there to serve us and not the citizens serve those in power.
Freedom isnt free....
