i dont know what your answer will be to this question, i believe that those of you who live in countries where every thing is done in the right way, might say yes i will. but what will you do i a country where you can stay without electricity for a month? what will you do for a country where some clique, decided to hold the country to ransome because they want to sell, generating plants( electric generator) so they frusrate every efforts towards a stable power supply? what will you do if you earn less than a dollar a day to survive? what will you do if all the sector of your economy has broken down? what will you do if you cannot get good education or medical treatment? what will you do for such a country where people are stealing more money, more than they can spend in a life time? Tell me will you die for such a country?

Well, most countries are just as you described. Countries without corrupt politicians and business leaders are really hard to come by. I would not die for my country unless I supported the war they were getting into. I refuse to put my life on line for something that I don't even believe in, especially if the leaders who started the war are corrupt and are engaging in thievery as you said.

It is sad but at this point in my life...NO! The only exception is if we were being attcked by an outside aggressor. Not sure if this would be dying for my country or protecting my family and myself however.
