Tarl Cabot's other opinon, that the U.S. desires world freedom, is disproved by the history of U.S. foreign policy, particularly post-WWII.

The U.S. desires self-preservation. And today, that self-preservation includes the stability of its position as the single super power afforded the rights to police the world as it sees fit. World freedom would be detrimental to the U.S. economy.
So you acknowledge the theft but justify it by saying that one justifies the other?
