Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:50 AM EST

By vas (Clipped by Independent Rob)

I love my country, but I am not proud of how or what it is doing at the moment. This is no contradiction. Any parent understands this. There is nothing greater than unconditional love and nothing more insidiously dangerous than unconditional pride.
