"There are two types of patriotism. The first one you might call nationalism; nationalists believe that all other countries are inferior and one would do them a favour by dominating them. Other countries are always in the wrong, they are less free, less civilised, are less glorious in battle, are perfidious, prone to falling for insane or alien ideologies, are irreligious and abnormal. Such patriots are the most common variety and their patriotism is the most contemptible thing on earth.
The second type of patriot does not believe in 'my country, right or wrong'; on the contrary, they love their land despite the faults they can so clearly see an hold the position that anyone who fails to see it's problems is the worst kind of traitor..."
from
Louis de Bernieres, The war of Don Emmanuels Nether Parts (excellent book BTW)It's scary how many 'world' leaders fall into group one...

It wouldn't have anything to do with the German Chancellor's failed attempt at stopping a British paper from publishing facts about his personal life would it...?
Course not. That's unthinkable!

today i can only depend on foreign news sources...
Since the Dutch news is filled with NOTHING BUT yesterdays national elections.....

we already help to prepare the US for war for many months already...
..and our media nor government has said anything worthy over the threat of war.
