The problem I have with Jacob's definition of patriotism ("A patriot is anyone who fights to expel foreign soldiers from their nation") is that he made it up and it bears little resemblance to the commonly accepted meaning of patriotism ("love of country") Tough to truly communicate with someone who arbitrarily decides to make up his own definitions. Also, I find his statements that the primary motivation for the murderous inclinations of the Khmer Rouge and the suicide bombers in Iraq is "patriotism" to be ludicrous. IMO, it's power.
