My sister resides in the States and has often commented on the blind patriotism she sees. On her street all other houses have American flags waving. When Bush was in power she was often chided by her neighbours for questioning the Bush govt and it's motives. Sadly, she said, a lot of that patriotism got young men and women killed.
