Today I am ashamed to be an American. Today, I am ashamed to be a citizen of a free, democratic society. I hang my head in shame not because of our government or our leader, but in shame of so many of my fellow citizens.
Today, as for the last several months, the citizens of many free countries are protesting, and even the governments of many democratic nations are interfering with actions that are required for justice. Every person who marches in the streets of a free country, denouncing the actions of the United States in bringing Saddam Hussein to justice should think about what they are supporting....

Today I am ashamed to be an American. Today, I am ashamed to be a citizen of a free, democratic society. I hang my head in shame not because of our government or our leader, but in shame of so many of my fellow citizens.
Today, as for the last several months, the citizens of many free countries are protesting, and even the governments of many democratic nations are interfering with actions that are required for justice. Every person who marches in the streets of a free country, denouncing the actions of the United States in bringing Saddam Hussein to justice should think about what they are supporting. In essence, these people are marching to support Saddam Hussein. They are marching to support the murders he has committed, the violence he visits on his own people, the oppression of his rein, the constant threat he is to his neighbors, the deaths he has visited on innocent Israeli citizens by writing checks to suicide bombers' families, and the deaths he played party to in New York City on September 11, 2001.
Today, my fellow free citizens cause me pain and shame. I support your right to speak freely. I support your right to march, to wave your signs, to sign your songs, to spout your poison. I support your right to attempt to influence me and even to insult our President and call me names. That's fine, but I do want you to consider the shame I feel that you would enslave a people and support a murderous tyrant. You march in free streets chanting, hoping that another people would never taste that same freedom. Feel shame this day that you support the murder of innocents, the enslaving of millions, the constant threat to all free peoples. May your dreams be visited by the faces of those who will die at the hands of those you support this day.
