When does a nationalist become a patriot?

In a clear demonstration of arrogant shortsightedness that afflict all Americans a professor has written that the Indian Prime Minister, Modi could visit Pakistan only because he is a 'nationalist'. His predecessor, Manmohan Singh could not do the same because he would have faced criticism for being soft on the terrorist state. Not true. Manmohan Singh went all the way to Sharm-el-Sheikh in Egypt to capitulate to Pakistan just 8 months after the murderous attack on Mumbai, which was coordinated live by handlers in Pakistan. If Modi was a true nationalist he would stop all talks with Pakistan, seal the border with fencing and mines and reply every bullet with 10 of our own. It is weird that if an Indian wants to protect his people he is branded a nationalist but an American is exalted as a patriot. Ronald Reagan armed the Afghan mujahideen, which led to the Taliban, George Bush attacked Iraq, because of which thousands of civilians are still being killed, and Obama is now a celebrated comic book super-hero, known as the Drone Master, for his slaughter of thousands of civilians by the indiscriminate use of drones. Bush even passed a Patriot Act, which allows spying on US citizens, and which has been renamed The USA Freedom Act under Obama. Freedom for whom? Pakistani military officers were part of the group which attacked the Indian consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan. Who is supplying arms to the Pakistan military? The US. Saudi Arabia finances terrorist groups everywhere. Who is keeping the Saudi monarchy in power? The US. The US is thus a state sponsor of terrorism. Ariel Sharon was a true nationalist so he could withdraw unilaterally from Gaza. What did the Palestinians do in response? They elected the terrorist group, Hamas which fought with the governing Fatah and has been fighting with Israel since. So confident is Pakistan about US support that it mocks India with ludicrous excuses after every terrorist outrage. If Modi is a true nationalist he should block of all entry points with landmines, so that not even a mouse can cross into India, and rendition those Americans who are supplying arms to Pakistan. That would elevate him from a nationalist to a patriot. But he won't.
