Treason
The Random House College Dictionary says:
1. Violation by a subject of his allegiance to his sovereign or to the state; high treason
2. U.S. such a violation directed against the United States, and consisting of only levying war against the U.S. or in adhering to its enemies or giving them aid and comfort

Going by definition, people of the United States are committing treason for wishing their country to lose in the Iraq War. And while it may be a necessary war in the eyes of many, it is not a good reason to root for the enemy where if victorious, will bring consequences to one's self and his countrymen.

America is lenient towards such actions defined as treason for the right of freedom of speech, a right many countries do not have the privilege to.


"America sucks! We should lose this war and let the poor Iraqi people be!"

"Back before America came, those people and their families would be killed for saying something like that. This country we live in is kind for letting its people commit acts that could be defined as 'treason' across the globe."

"America still is terrible and George Bush is an idiot!"

"Yes, because we all know that the leader of a country represents ALL of the country's people..."
