There's a huge difference between patriotism and nationalism. Every nation has a right to feel proud of its identity. Every citizen has a right to be proud of some things about his or her country. The problem begins when people are ignorant, arrogant and afraid of difference, and believe that they should be able to force/coerce others into accepting their supremacy.
Apologies for arrogant Americans. Nothing much I can do about them - I find them as annoying as you do.
