Depends on who you talk to. Bush thinks his slight gain over Kerry means America loves his war and wants to declare war on every filthy country that has "tyranny" (notice that in his inaugural address he did not mention the war on terror once; he must have realized that invading Afghanistan and Iraq didn't do jack shit against potential terrorist attacks, in fact they're probably more likely now, and he needed another excuse to invade places), but only Iran next to all that oil and North Korea next to the world's next superpower, not Burma or Cuba or Mauritania of course, and America is and always has been exempt from all tyranny and if you think otherwise you're unpatriotic pro-terrorist scum.

Most people though, including Republicans, have accepted that large numbers of people are seeing the holes in this logic and most probably won't be particularly offended since the anti-war crowd is already so vocal and they've grown used to the arguments. But beware, there are always those ultraconservative freaks who will bitch you out if you even suggest something absurd like homosexuals don't all burn for eternity in the afterlife or the universe is more than 6,000 years old or America shouldn't be able to do whatever it wants to any country with lots of brown people.
