Well, in this imperfect world being Nationalistic beats the hell out of being imperialistic, me thinks.
Besides, if a country is hated by everyone else, an strong nationalism is the only way to survive, plus not attacking anyone and having only a defense oriented army doctrine will assure the moral higher ground, at least in a domestic sense.
