Patriotism is love of country.

That's right. And people whose basic axiom is that "America is the root of all evil," the Chomskyites, for instance, don't.

Bill, let me jump into this conversation with CB, just for a bit. Two questions. Do you have some sort of evidence that this is a fair summary of Chomsky's work? I haven't read it so genuinely don't know. But I know some folk who have and certainly don't have that impression.

Second, if we take that attitude and disentangle it from Chomsky, can you offer some serious evidence that it is so widespread it is seriously something to worry about?

I see very hard and very serious criticisms of American policies but the ones I read are in the interests of a different view of patriotism.
