This may be extremely naive of me, but I really hope that within my lifetime those notions ("our county", "country's enemies") well have ended. The imperialistic nationalism of Europe culminated in WW1&2, and now they mostly get along. Maybe the rest of the world can, too, in the next 50 years (without another cataclysmic war).

- psadauskas 13y agoThe national pride is still there, sure, but the circumstances that brought about two world wars are not. I just mean that (generalizing) the French don't view the Germans the same way Americans view the Middle East.
- sigzero 13y agoI can pretty much guarantee that it will never happen. Sorry to burst your bubble.
