So did everybody in WWI use nationalism to justify an arms race as big as the one the USA and the USSR engaged in. The difference was that people were expecting to use the ones built up before 1914 but nobody wanted to use the ones built after 1945. Given what happened with the 1914 war, too......*shudders.* Yeah, nationalism's more evil than fundamentalism because only Pakistan and Iran are run entirely on the latter at this point. Nationalism led to the self-destruction of what had been the richest part of the world before 1914.
