That war left a million people dead, including American sons and daughters, and many more catastrophically injured. Lives were changes, families shattered. You are allowed an arm's length view and the perspective that comes with it...you can sit and drink a Timmy Ho's, contemplate your time at University, plan a holiday. You use the term 'zed', your money is artistic, beautiful and colorful...and your painted ladies dance in the same suits as they were born in often artistic, beautiful and colorful. I ask you, NB, as a casual observer, was Dick Cheney a patriot? Yes, in his mind for sure, but in my mind was questionable. Did Haliburton make billions? Did they convince America about WMD, yes. Did they use 9 11 as a patriotic song, yes. Was Saddam guilty, not about what they said. Cheney and many got richer, the military complex got richer. Canada actually refused to send in troops. The war was used for political reasons. For much of his life, yes, then manipulated for $$$ so, in the end no. But then lots of supporters were not as well. Regime change is not necessarily patriotic. But the balance...they had congressional approval. Did he love his country, with out question. He did follow the constitution and the law. So today's prez gets richer, family gets richer from people he cozied up to like Saudis, he creates wars with Venezuela, has ties to Russia. Ignores historic laws, No Congressional approval, works for less than half the citizens, disrespect his citizens and the constitution. So no.

So you’re saying no, he wasn’t a patriot from your perspective? You agree with Trump?
