For the first time in my life I am truly ashamed of my country.

I would still proudly stand up and protect them, but, sigh...

I'd not be ashamed my friend. Our good will and charity, offered in good faith, have been taken advantage of by those who prefer to live the life of parasitism. It is no slur on our honor that we offered our good will and charity in the first instance, though they be taken advantage of.

I think, perhaps, that the possibility of shame lies in whether we as a country can stand by another old adage: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I hope and pray that we shan't be fooled again.
