That's because in our Westernized nation, attention > nationalism. I support Bush in each and every of his endeavors; that is, right on up 'til the first Tuesday in November. . As unfortunate as it is, these dissentful people you refer to are the uneducated ones, for the most part. The easiest way to make a buck or be the bearer of publicity is to be the first to cry "foul" at our president's latest "fault."
Regardless, we are
still the greatest nation in the modern world.
