Not even close, Sir!
“Nation building” is a catch-phrase used by liberals in every liberal party world-wide.
If you don’t want to be identified with it, then I’d recommend you find a different phrase to explain what you mean.
Interesting, though, that the expression “nation building” as the reason for “Bush’s War” didn’t get tossed out until after the anti-war wackos at MoveOn began their anti-war protesting.
