The world would be a much happier place if people considered their fellow humans to be their brothers instead of just their countrymen. IMHO love of one's nation is a very dangerous thing. It's too easy to use it to generate hatred, and it's ridiculous when you consider the arbitrary nature of nationality anyway (I love my country and hate yours because I happened to be born here.)

Oh, come on Dogscoff, you know that loving your country doesn't mean hating somebody elses countries.
And you also know that universal brotherly love is an utopia at the moment, because you can't love who hate you. At best you may not hate them back, but you can't love somebody that wants to kill your family and destroy your way of life.
Besides, I don't see an unbridgable gap between national love and international love.
People that profit from our divisions promote the idea of international brothehood as opouse to national brotherhood because they know that international brotherhood is impossible, and at the same time they take away from us our national brotherhood.
