American Government: Reaching Too Far?

Technically we are not Imperialist, though I do not agree with what we are doing. Imperialism is when you invade another country to make it a part of your own or to make it a country. We have not activly practiced imperialism in about 100 years. We have no colonies and where we hold a military presence we spend money, not make it.

I had missed what stryderunknown had said. But if that's what's going on then Saddam is not only a sociopathic killer, he is also definitely weird.

If American government continues to go into countries that it percieves as a threat, take over, place a ruler that will govern the way America wants it to, isn't that Imperialist enough? I don't know if the UN was part of picking the new leader for Afghanistan, if anyone knows, please tell us more.

Yes, we aren't colonizing these countries but if a country has something that we want (such as Iraq and its oil), and we place a ruler that's on America's side...won't we be benefiting from that?

Yes we can all say Saddam is definately weird.
