Why not get more specific John? Are you suggesting that those who oppose
Bush's war against the Islamists are more patriotic than those who want to
fight it? Are you denying that we have a brutal violent, ruthless enemy who
needs to be stopped? Are you denying that our government needs to protect
its citizens by fighting against this enemy? Are you calling the desire to
protect our citizens and defeat our enemies "cheap chauvinism"? You are
much too vague. Out with it.

Besides, it is utterly disgusting to be accused of anti-Americanism by
advocates of the barbarities our fathers and grandfathers fought
against in two World Wars. If anything is anti-American it is cheap
chauvinism grounded in anger and fear, the kind that fueled that
barbarism.
