Should I be embarrased to be an American?

There was no WMD in Iraq. Iraq did not do 9-11. Iraq was no threat to the USA. The USA has lost respect all over the world. How can I hold my head up?
Additional Details
The USA should have learned a lesson from Vietnam. Yes I'm embarrassed to say I'm from the USA.

Of course you should be embarrassed to be American, after all, since we've been in Iraq there have been schools opened, girls and women are becoming more independent, banks have been opened, road ways built, free elections water and electricity have been provided in places that hadn't had it before.. Your a nit wit.... I am more embarrassed to have you as an American and I thank God that you aren't protecting this country, because you know and I know that you wouldn't have the back of anyone... just your own sorry a.s.s.

No.

However, I AM embarrassed that you're an American.

No. You should be proud and thankful you are an American.

You can be embarrassed about the quality of its leadership.

Reported for insulting my belief
No. I am proud to be an American.


Why did I get a thumbs down for being proud. I am proud. I am proud gun owning white American. Anyone who thinks that is wrong can go screw off.

You can't. Leave the country now. Renounce your citizenship. Move to Iraq.

Have fun!


mnwomen
I agree with the first answer.

Are you sure you're not a Canadian in disguise?

Not all Americans support the US government's decision to invade and stay in Iraq. Keep your head up and if you feel strongly about it, campaign for political office and keep it from happening again (or end it, if it goes on that long).

Or go back to curling in one of them cushy indoor rinks they've got nowadays. (-:

Swear your allegience to another Country where you can hold your head up and please get out of the USA.

Lord, this is what mistruths will do.

A) There were WMD in Iraq. most were shipped out of country in the days leading up to the war, some has in fact been found, not huge stockpiles, but still enough to kill thousands. Why hasn;t all this been reported more? Well ask yourself who's controlling the media...

B) Iraq did not "do" 9-11 but had contact with and almost certainly harbored members of Al-Quida.

C) Iraq had launched a preemptive invasion of a close US ally, and had a homicidal leader who A) hated the US and B) was actively trying to develop chemical, biological, and nuclear means to destroy us. I'd say Iraq was a threat all right.

Any other points you want to bring up? If it comes from CNN or some anti-war nut on a blog I can guarantee you it's factually wrong.

You should be embarrased to be an uneducated American. People are coming here from foregin countrys by the thousands daily...clearly were not that disrespected.

You can be ashamed of be an American, ashamed of being a man (or a woman) ashamed of being white (or black or whatever), ashamed of being a human, ashamed of being a grownup (or not) and so on. Everything you are can in some way or other be linked to something you can be ashamed of.

You can be ashamed of not intervening when Saddam attacked Iran or when he attacked and killed some hundred thousand of his own by gas or other means, you can be ashamed of not being able to avoiding the killings in Zrebrenica, or the manslaughter in Burundi.

Or you can be ashamed of a poor planning, no understanding of other cultures and lack of success in a highly questionable attempt to remove Saddam and create a western democracy in Iraq.

It's all up to you, what to be ashamed of. If you chose the most popular to be ashamed of, you are safe in case you end up in a discussion.

Same answer as 3 months ago. Leave, your inability to learn makes you a great Chicom.... bye

You don't have to stay in the USA. If you decide to I would probably refrain from making these uneducated statements often.

If you are embarrased to be an American move to another country. We may have made mistakes but what country hasn't? Maybe you should move to France!


Harley
You can leave if you want.


garyb1616
I'm more embarrassed by the left......just listen to Cindy Sheehan,Alec Baldwin, Palosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the group...If your embarrassed quit your Government Job and give back all the benefits of the country you say embarrasses you.... I can hold my head up no matter how much the left embarrasses me.

No, not necessarily. The faces in the media and in the White House don't represent everybody. I know I'm not ashamed.

I say if you do nothing to change something that is bad or wrong then you should be ashamed, and really to do nothing because it seems overwhelming means you ain't no American, just a free loader, consider Canada as your home.


chappye7
Sorry to hear that. You know no one is perfect and no country is perfect because thers no such thing as perfection. You need to look at it that way.

If your embarassed to be an American than I suggest you renounce your citizenship and go someplace you are comfortable, let me name a few, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Darfur, Somalia, the Ivory Coast, Venezula, Cuba, Canada, or any other country but here.


Gypsy Gal
Things will get better so hold your head up and be proud of America as over all we have done some good things

I don't know.
All I can say is that yes, a lot of people generalise about America and Americans and how bad they are.
Perhaps you can try to be the exception to the rule, so to speak.
Don't be a proud, patriotic ambassador, just be a genuine person.
You'll make a far greater impression by your 'good work' and words, on people, than any 'bad press' could tarnish, as long as you do what you see to be right. Be nice, people will think you're nice.
It's not the country you come from, it's the person you are that counts.
At least, that's how I see it.
When I go travelling, I have no signs, marks, flags, or patches on any of my gear that distinguish where I'm from.
I don't need to advertise.
People can take me for who I am, not where I'm from.
Because it's the person that matters, not the country.

Edit: looks like you've copped some flak from your fellow countrymen. With attitudes like theirs, I'm not surprised you hang your head, although I think it's them who should be ashamed - they do America's reputation a whole lot more damage than any Government could. They seem to forget the rest of the world sees what they say to their own people, and judges them accordingly.
