Pleased by anti-nationalist letter( John St.Lawrence )

I was pleased to read John St. Lawrence's letter ( " Four Families fight over territory " , March 9 , on line ).   It speaks for many patriotic Americans who reject neo-nationalist poison in all its forms. Any belligerent obsession with national identity and ethnic roots is crypto-fascism -in the Ukraine or anywhere else on this small ( doomed ? ) planet.  Every mad mob does not epitomize some innocent form of political idealism. I am reading with revived interest old Bertrand Russell's experiences opposing the madness of the First World War. That war made so many nice sounding words ugly.
