Case in point: I often don't care for or agree with decisions the Canadian government makes, and there have been times when I've downright hated their actions on or during certain issues. That doesn't mean I hate my country or all Canadians or that I'm anti-Canadian.
I'd like to think I can voice some dissention when I disagree with something the US gov't does without people thinking I automatically dislike Americans.

As usual the voice of reason. I do not mind critisism of my governement...I would be high on the list of being critical of my government...and I frequently make my congressman aware of my critisism. What I do mind is "bashing" my government by...what I consider to be for the most part...short sighted...unintelligent people. BTW...the leaders are elected to ultimately protect what is "perceived" to be in the best interests of America...and not what is in the best interests of any other country.
