When visiting the US I am always amazed about how american americans are. Proud of their country, values, culture, virtues. As a (typical?) European citizen I hardly know the first sentence of our national anthem, let alone that I cherish pride or patriotism. This may be caused by the many wars that european countries have fought because of a flag or belief. And yet, in front of Washington Monument, it feels good to be here and experience that warm glow within me. Is it the homo universalis that we all carry within us? Or just knowing this is a safe place, far away from politics, religion and quarrels?
