jeez - now that one is truly full-on.
oddly enough, one of the most violent societies around at the moment - Nigeria - has a pretty wonderful anthem as jingoistic ditties go. the second verse goes a bit like:
>
> O God of creation,
> Direct our noble cause;
> Guide our Leaders right:
> Help our Youth the truth to know,
> In love and honesty to grow,
> And living just and true,
> Great lofty heights attain,
> To build a nation where peace and justice reign.
>
better than most... just a pity they've yet to fulfill the wish for a place "where peace and justice reign".
