Well, yeah, but even I supported Iraq initially. It was stupid, but it's called jingoism, a sudden surge in patriotism and extreme nationalism that drives politics and encourages imperialism. Now that it's worn off, we can see our mistakes. Back then I wasn't even politically conscious. I just had that blind patriotism, but I was young and stupid (I think at the time I was 13 or 14). I'm not blaming anybody but Bush for driving us to action, but I admire those people who stood up and actually thought about the issue instead of labeling it as "patriotic" and automatically goign after it.

I just hate the fact that I wasn't one of them.
