The Cold War basically made America go nuts and do anything and everything it could to stick it to the commies, from putting god in the pledge of allegiance to making all our kids says it. Ultimately the sad fact is the original nationalist movement in the US never lost any steam due to the US not being bombed into a crater during WW2 and it found a very happy place inside anti-soviet and anti-European rhetoric during the cold war. Then of course, 9/11 happened and cranked the "Patriotism" dial up to 11.

We nuked Japan as a political statement against the Soviet Union, considering they had just wiped out an army we would have second thoughts about going after with minimal losses.

Also this thread title is retarded, of course Euro's are proud of their country, but there is a different between pride and nationalism.
