Imperial? If the US was a real imperial power the country would not be a debtor nation.
Imperial? Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo would not have rated a paragraph on page 20 in the NY Times.
Imperial? When corporations are pillaging the national treasury with the help of goverment 'outsourcing' policies?
If the US really has an urge to empire it has a very disfunctional way of obtaining one.
Oh- the bazillions of deaths attributed to US foriegn policy? Read some more history. The US is a lightweight when it comes to decimating entire populations and subjugating the survivors while raping the resources. Think Hitler, Stalin, Britain, Spain, Rome...
