I think that Europeans/Germans and Americans have different take on Nationalism.

German Nationalism almost destroyed Germany and Europe. American nationalims saved America and Europe. Please remember that America is a multi-ethnic country. We cannot find a common bond or identity in race but only in our ideals. This is a distinct difference between German and American nationalism. In other words American nationalism is not based on ethnic pride but consists of love of liberty, freedom, morality. And the belief that we as a nation will live by and fight for these ideals. Also, part of this is the beleif that America is a special place that has allowed these ideas to flourish.

Without a healthy dose of American nationalism, America would balkanize into various squabbling ethnic groups.
