Patriot Games

George Monbiot has an excellent, thought-provoking piece in the Guardian today about patriotism and why it's not the catch-all solution to British Muslims bombing their own country that the tabloids have made it out to be. While obviously all for social unity and national pride, I've always been uneasy with the notion of flagrant patriotism (must be the Canadian in me), so it's good to see there are some other level-headed internationalists out there.
