I think British, Aussie, German, French, and Iraqi national pride are examples of ones that run pretty high as well.
I don't want to get too caught up in the pros-and-cons of this debate for obvious reasons, but this comment I can agree with. Nothing wrong with loving your country. Criticising it doesn't mean you don't love it, just as wearing American flag pins is not a sign that you do. [img]smile.gif[/img]
