That a leader cannot be questioned or criticized during war? Is this a commonly held historical belief in America?

just not Republican ones. :sarcasm:

As we recall, the Republicans in Congress were all over Clinton about the military action in the Balkans. Wag the dog, no war for Monica, we shouldn't be involved in nation-building, blah, blah, blah. In fact, they thought it was just fine to start impeachment proceedings against him while US troops were fighting in the Balkans. Conveniently, they have forgotten all of this.

They have also forgotten what Republican president Theodore Roosevelt once said: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

It's just that I hear that phrase all the time in Amercan media and not just from RWers, either.

Could it be that they've "created" this myth and somehow it's become "accepted wisdom"?

That's gotta be stopped.

thankfully stationed in Europe in the Army CIC....I voted for Eisenhower because he said he would bring the troops home and he did. Next these pukes will be calling Ike unpatriotic.

tells you everything you need to know about CNN.

The first thing that came to my mind was "what about vietnam?" If people didn't question the administration we would still be fighting a losing battle - of course you must question it...

voted.

It's encouraging actually. Americans aren't as stupid as past votes would imply.:)

Now it's whether or not **'s visit will help freedom in China.

** isn't doing too well in the new one either.

The OP's poll is still there on the US edition. But * is getting clobbered on the China poll, too, by about the same margin.

that in all the polls lately our view has the greatest percentage?

:kick:

I've tried this several times. I keep getting an error message: "the document contains no data". Will keep trying. Anybody know what that message means? OS- unfortunately windows ME, browser- Mozilla Firefox.

Hey, isn't it nice to know that we don't really *have* to DU polls anymore? The citizenry is with DU. That's a nice fact, too.

Still, keep putting the polls up. It's so-o-o-o-o much fun participating in an aspect of on-line Democracy. ;-)
