quote from One Man's Meat by EB White, it's one of the things that has influenced me throughout my life...

"The passionate love of Americans for their America will have a lot to do with winning the war. It is an odd thing though: the very patriotism on which we now rely is the thing that must eventually be in part relinquished if the world is ever to find a lasting peace and an end to these butcheries." (December 1941)

it goes on for a while... but, it seems so true right now... did we simply make the mistake of love? loving our own country far more than we should have?
