A raw “superior by birth” seems to motivate much protectionist sentiment

No. Not superior. Just born to a different nation, that's all.

You expect your family to support you and work with you in your life to ensure a modicum of success. It appears that in Nature, this is the way Nature's God set it up. Acting in this manner seems to lead to social stability and prosperity for groups which act this way.

A nation is an extended family, or so it was supposed to be.

And so we believe our extended family should act in our interests.

What's 'superior' about that?

Gee whiz, Big Brother, I guess it takes a village! Most likely, your Uber-Nanny will be inaugurated in January 2009.
