Someone wrote: "yawn, countries and nationalism are so yesterday."

Don't look back, yesterday is gaining. Ethnicity, nations [another term for ethnicities in contrast to "states" like the U.S and the USSR and France which are modern "states" and China which isn't so much a "state" as a culture dominated by one ethnicity] and religious identities [Islamists and Right wing Christianists] are sweeping the floor with the soft "oh so moderns".

Consider the recent scores: Vietnamese Nationalists 1, France 0, US 0; Iraqi nationalists 1, U.S. 0; Afghan nationals 3, UK 1; Afghan nationals 1; USSR 0; Afghan nationals 1; US 0; Algerian Nationals 1, France 0. Tomorrow is beginning to look like yesterday all over again.
