You want to leave because of bias against America? I don't think that will come as a surprise - you already have "Extremist" as your member title and have talked about your "ultra-patriotic" mates.

And for all those people who feel we are obligated to 'support' our troops, that isn't right either. I have a very close cousin in Iraq right now, and I hope that she is still alive when this war ends. I have the right to think that this war isn't worth my cousins life. .

Personaly I think that hopeing your cousin(and the rest of our troops(American, British, Australian)) comes out alive and not acting as if they are doing something wrong is support enough.

We can't forget that whether we agree with what is happening or not, these people are doing a job that they have little or no control over. All the countries that are protesting the war(by standing outside of military bases and heckeling the troops or even getting violent doing things like throwing things at military members and their families) need to step back and think. If their presidents/leaders had chosen to back this war, they too would be out their doing something they may not wholey support.

So yes, I do think we are obligated to support our troops. We don't need to wish them plenty of kills, but we need to support them by understanding the position they are in and not condemming them for the job they are doing.

I have tried to be civil about this debate, and have been understanding of the opinions of above individuals.
But, I have had enough
The only point I was trying to make, was that I believe in my country.

I was being civil towards you too. But the mention of "ultra-patriotism" leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Along with your war avatar and your war signature. Then you say you want to leave the board because a few people don't agree with your sentiments - thats not exactly respecting other people's opinions.

And I never said I didn't like America did I? I also never said I wanted a war, although you did. What a surprise.
