tricky question...

if your country is at war with some other country but you know your country is wrong and they're right.. whom would you support?
would you support your country?
will it affect your patriotism?
will you become anti-national if you don't?

what is patriotism?
is it also supporting illegal activities your government does.. or
is it criticizing your government if its wrong and stopping your country from going wrong direction and wanting your country to become a better place to live

Like always, I support and love my country, but not always what its leader does.
This doesn't mean I will badmouth and demean my country. My country has nothing to do with any other country. The interactions between the leaders of other countries and the leader of my own, are always fickle and based upon the personalities involved.

My patriotism, my nationalism, my pride in my country; have nothing to do with who is in charge at the moment.

And unlike some countries, every 4 years we can make our voices heard and decide if we would like a different person in charge. Sometimes the candidate we support wins, sometimes they don't, but at no point is turning around and trashing the nation that's very laws allow you to openly trash it appropriate. Throwing a tantrum by anyone over 6 should not be tolerated.
