This brings me back to my main critique of this site - it's too obsessed with viewing the world through the lens of nations.

I can barely tolerate the nationalism on this site

Interesting remarks.

I'd say viewing the world through the lens of nations is one of the ways one can analyse the world events, as when we analyse the nations' reactions to the financial crisis. So it's perfectly legitimate, as long as it's only one of the possible views - which I'd think is the case here. You'll find just as often here an analysis though the filter of social classes.

As to nationalism, if you define nationalism as "my country, right or wrong", I don't see that so prevalent here...
