Just some random questions...

• Why should I be proud of a country in which I'm randomly born?
• How can one believe that "God" has chosen his/her country as the only true one. Is this fundamental or religious?
• Isn't Patriotism a very nationalistic way to express your very own thoughts and feelings?
• How can a man be so arrogant to call his country the world police?
• Can I spread peace through bombs?

update: I guess I have to explan my question related to "Patriotism": I think there is a very thin line between Patriotism and Nationalism. But I do _not_ think that Patriotism in general is radical or nationalistic. Btw: These are questions that I ask myself, too...
