Unfortunately some elements in history have associated nationalism with violence and have thus stained an otherwise great word. According to a popular online dictionary “nationalism” means…

1.Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation.
2.The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
3.Aspirations for national independence in a country under foreign domination.

I see no problem with the above…

Not everyone jumps to a dictionary.

What's wrong with "CYPRIOTISHNESS"? :wink:

But, does it have a "red" stripe through it or a "blue" stripe?
