Absolutely. As a country we have sacrificed enough. Bush has ruined our country and has ruled as a despot. He turned our country into a fascist nation and I am not proud to call myself an American any longer. I do see change on the horizon. Once our constitution is no longer being used as a doormat for Bush and his cronies to trample on, then my patriotism will return.

I will always have pride in my country and express my patriotism to the men and woman that have and continue to fight for our rights and our country.
The war in Iraq has shaken my faith in our government. I support the fight against terrorism and the act of attacking the people responsible for the devastating acts of September 11th. I do not support the lies and the misleading information.
The war in Afganistan was intending to hunt down Al Qaeda and the Taliban who were responsible. Some how the war shifted into a liberation of the Iraqi people. While our men and women have been fighting and dieing in Iraq, Al Qaeda has grown and spread to several more countries.
The world has seen how the American government took action and went to war without the consent or help of the United Nations or our Allies. I travel to Europe often and the image of the United States has been damaged.
I hope in the future our image, our strength, and our patriotism can be restored.

Nope. To say that my patriotism is gone because of the war in Iraq would be a simple and ignorant choice. What an insult to the men and women serving our country in Iraq! Even if you don't agree with what's happening over there it doesn't mean the United States is not a country to be proud of.
It seems awfully shallow to me if someone bases their patriotism and American Pride on something like the War in Iraq. Don't we, as a Nation, stand for more than that? I am positive we do.

My views against the war in Iraq have nothing to do with my patriotism for my country. This talk that if you dont support the war you hate the military and hate America is a crock of crap.

The war in Iraq has "effected" (caused) many people to be more patriotic at first. Later, the ongoing war in Iraq "affected" (changed) their patriotism.
Which one did you mean?

Patriots nonetheless love united statesa. and Iraqis who love their u . s . a . regularly choose independence with an elected government a lot so as that thousands and thousands of them threat death to get a pink finger signifying that they VOTED. the only element that gets human beings to vote in DROVES is the possibility of a KERRY or GORE transforming into president and ending off the USA of a right this moment...much greater right this moment that infinite unlawful alien invasion.

yes I'm more of a patriot since the war started thinking about those brave men and women over there fighting for my freedoms

No, because one of the reasons I love my country is because is not participating in the "Coalition of Shame". And my country doesn't have chimpanzee as president

If anything my patriotism has increased - I'm proud of the fact that my country (New Zealand) refused to become involved in an unethical war with an unjust cause, despite huge pressure and bribes of trade deals from the USA if we were to commit troops and resources.
"your either with us or against us" arrrgghh such arrogance
