For the most part, I agree with you.
Except, in regard to your personal opinion, I wouldn't consider patriotism entirely illogical. I believe, in order to achieve something great, there has to be a certain amount of pride involved. In this respect, for the sake of their own country's well-being, people should have some pride in where they come from. The pride thereof isn't without reason or purpose.
Though, I don't deny the fact that some people take their pride too far or misplace it.
