I especially take offense at the notion that if I question my government's actions and lament its negative image in the world, I don't value my country and am unpatriotic. That was not the lesson I learned in civics class so many years ago. I value my country precisely because I have the freedom to question its direction and to participate in the public debate and political process affecting its direction.

I would have thought that the Sept. 4 editorial "Ms. Palin's Introduction," about Gov. Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention, would have pointed out the exceedingly thin résumé of Sen. Barack Obama as well as Ms. Palin's. The Post seems to forget that he is running to be president and that Ms. Palin would be president only if, as president, John McCain died, resigned or was removed from office. I think that brings Mr. Obama's lack of executive experience into greater question and shows that his deficiency is a greater danger to the country.
