Care to set out, maybe in another thread, how you fit US aims, actions and modern history into a world view that doesn't include "US Imperialism"?

It's easy to mock, shake your head, etc, but I really can't see how anyone can look at history and the current state of affairs and judge the US as anything but an imperialist power, selfishly, ruthlessly abusing it's dominant or hegemonic power crush other views on how life can be lived, or who should be telling them what to do.

Please, show me the error of my ways.
