Simple. Becuase this is not Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, or Burma. Freedom of speach is essentially what seperates the USA from dictatorships. It is what is essentially American, and a basic tenet of justice and equality. You should tolerate (not to be confused with being 'happy' about something. One 'tolerates' a novicaine shot at the dentist, but it is not something one is 'happy' about) becuase if American citizens (or the government) start limiting freedom of speach, then something *much* more fundamental to American culture and government has been compromised than a spanish version of the national anthem.
