Why wouldn't I be nationalist when all the other powerful men in this nation had the same goals as me? When the Romans or Greeks conquered other lands or the Mongolians or whomever, you don't think they weren't "nationalist"? I would never sellout my own people to my enemies like a jew for some more shekels or even some nice slave girls. I have too much honor for that. But if some farmers started suggesting I was being mean to women because I took some war brides at the last conquest, I might have a problem with them regardless of their race.
