The great Patratiotism debate
This is not a direct Iraq thread or really to do with theprotests or even the morals of the war in Iraq. It is to do with the line many UK Mps have been comming out with since the war started which is you have got to get behind the troops otherwise your not patrioric!
Now this has brought up a lot of questions in my mind first off is does it make you un patroiric to disagree with your country? Secondally do the iraqis feel the same dont agree with there leadership but feel they have to get behind there troops. Is this how states like this lears stay in power for so long a kinda under seige pulling together. Last centuary was full of governments doing things that the mass populas would not agree with (i dont believe for one second if most germans knew about the holocorst they would support it)! when is been patrotism turned into blind faith and possiable fear and is there a time when people should offer no support to its solders etc if the cause pains them so much!
