Open Democracy: “In presenting its imperial plans to the American people, the Bush administration has been careful to package them as something else: on one hand, as part of a benevolent strategy of spreading American values of democracy and freedom; on the other, as an essential part of the defence not of an American empire, but of the American nation itself.” (Excellent read; thanks SOFA, David for sending me the link)

“My country right or wrong” is like saying “My mother drunk or sober.” - G. K. Chesterton

Although I like this analogy, xorg, I think the dichotomy is not extreme enough in this case. How about “My mother: Nun or Crack Whore”?

G K Chesterton again;
“I have formed a very clear conception of patriotism. I have generally found it thrust into the foreground by some fellow who has something to hide in the background. I have seen a great deal of patriotism; and I have generally found it the last refuge of the scoundrel.” - The Judgement of Dr. Johnson, Act III
