without nationalism, no nation could develop a great military power such as US, stalin's russia or nazi germany. if you had no military then all those tax dollars may contribute to social security, "good" education, healthcare. but who wants that?

no. it leads people to ideals of extreme nationalism which creates tension and conflict between nations, races, etc. these ideals were the foundation for: WWI (Kaiser's Germany), WWII (Nazi Germany and Facist Italy), cold war (USSR and USA), many terrorist groups organisations (Chechnyan nationalists, FLQ, etc.)

Yes. I think any organization should promote itself.

There is nothing wrong with Nationalism itself, as Nationalism is closely associated with patriotism. However... Nationalist efforts can be plagued by chauvinism or imperialism. Nationalist efforts such as those propagated by fascist movements in the twentieth century, held the nationalist concept that nationality is the most important aspect of one's identity, while some of them have attempted to define the nation in terms of race or genetics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism Imperialism is commonly understood in relation to Empire building, as the expansion of a nation's authority by territorial conquest establishing economic and political powers in other territories or nations. It describes an attitude of superiority, subordination and dominion over foreign people, and is often autocratic, e.g. in early 20th century Japan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperialism
