Yes. Every country has their nationalistic tendencies...even the United States.
How many people insist that America is the best country in the world? That God is on our side and not THEIR side?
Whether or not those are true is besides the point, because Nationalism is technically "my country, right or wrong" whereas patriotism is "an optimistic civic creed that demonstrates respect for America's institutions, individual freedoms, and constitutional law"
I like this quote:
"there is nothing patriotic about hating your country, or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your back on America, or ignoring your own responsibilities. If you want to preserve your own freedom, you must stand up for the freedom of others with whom you disagree. But you also must stand up for the rule of law. You cannot have one without the other."
