Yes, but a very dangerous attachment. I cannot help feeling it's better 
to be in love with your partner then with your country. If the latter is 
the case, the youthcamps of Hitler, Stalin and Mao are just one step 
ahead, and that is not a comforting thought. Off course these days the 
most famous love-your-movement advocates are Hamas and the Taliban.
