I am Italian! Some thousands of years ago I would have ruled the world. Well, if I wasn't a slave. Guess the same applies to America with the gay exception today, if you ask anyone from the aforementioned group.
I was about to have a seizure while reading some self-proclaimed patriot sprout what basically sounded a more civilized (well, not really) version of "fuck the world, this is my country" which somehow lead him to declare that other countries had not a right to try to "manipulate" (express interest in) the US elections. He was debating on liberal, and while many disagreed, many also agreed that "we shouldn't have a say in their elections." No shit, Sherlock. None of us wants to vote, we would simply like, as your international partners, to have our worries listened to. Then again I tend to think global politics should be coordinated, not forced on weaker countries.
I am more proud to be European than I am to be Italian. Or a citizen of the world. I am self-admitted unpatriotic scum, which maybe is what's preventing me from understanding how governing with an eye to international balances is a good thing. No, wait. That's just common sense. The unpatriotic part helps wishing global safety rather than internal safety at the expanse of supposed evil countries. (Disclaimer: my country is guilty of this too, given how much my Prime Minister likes to suck Bush's cock. And then they are against gay marriage. Go figure.)
