How do you Define Patriotism?

[quote=Dakota]Ask anyone on the left to name one argument/crisis/war that America was not at fault.

That statement is beyond absurd.
This is a dead give away when someone can't answer a question.
Already answered by Wags. What's the point if the original statement is so ridiculous.

Anyway, what's your point? Perhaps the US has been on the wrong side (or not) of all international disputes it was a party to. What does this have to do with right or left? When communication breaks down to the point where military action is instigated, seldom are all parties blameless. Often there are hidden agendas (Iraq being the foremost example of wars that were started due to reasons that the instigators misled the public about). By your standards does it mean you're a patriot if you support 50% (or some other arbitrary number) or more of conflicts, regardless of who is at fault?
