Isn’t part of being a true patriot a willingness to confront your government when what it is doing is wrong. For example, one of the reasons that Edmond Burke is so well loved here in the United States is that he gave speaches on the floor of the House of Commons saying that the British government was wrong to fight against the American Colonials. Many of us are simply saying that what the United States is doing to Serbia is wrong. If one is never willing to question your country then eventually you will find yourself in the same position as those patriotic German soldiers who ended up fighting for Hitler.

It’s impossible to have a reasonable discussion with your version of patriotism when you end up calling me a Nazi.

Serbia and the rest of Europe need to help themselves, instead of damning the U.S. when we do and damning us when we don’t. That is my POV and has no relationship to your fascistic accusation.
