I have always been really patriotic and always stood by my government and the choices they made, democrat or republican. However, my trust in the government, more specifically this regime has been greatly shaken. I used to want to go into the Army and defend this country. But with Bush in office, I really have begun to see the corruption and shortcomings of the government. I still support the troops and believe we need to get them the equipment they need to finish and clean up this mess we are in. This fortress, I mean embassy, is so unnecessary. I really feel this government has lost base with its roots. What happened to compromise? What happened to civil liberties? This patriot act is the biggest infringement on the Bill of Rights. Its either one party rules or the other. I remember way back when, politicians worked together and compromised to make things work. Now its either you\'re for us or against us. We need too take a good look at our government and greatly reform it back to how things used to be, back to the roots of our country. I\'m also getting sick of our foreign policy. We should not be the police of the world, no matter how much they want to be. Let other parts worry about themselves. I kinda wish we could go back to the pre-WWI and Cold War days when we weren\'t the superpower but worried about our own domestic policies. Things just seem to me to work better then. Who knows, I may be wrong but this is just my perspective.
