America is one of the most nationalistic societies on the face of the globe. The first time I visited the USA, long before September 11th, I was astonished to see so many American flags everywhere. There were flags on every public building, there were even flags on the _schools_ . You just don't get that here. There were also flags on a lot of private houses! What's more, American schoolchildren are required to swear allegiance to the flag every day. There would be all hell to pay if anybody tried to introduce anything like that here. You take this sort of thing so much for granted, you just don't realise how way-over-the-top Nationalist it looks to outsiders. Your hysterical reaction to quite mild criticism of American Nationalism on the anarchy list is, unfortunately, a fairly typical reaction. Dave Coull
