American Imperialism

Then go to legitimate and rational websites/articles/books to research the premise.

Please post one of those websites and we can talk about whether it's rational.

Here are two websites that I recommend.
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/
http://www.globalresearch.ca/

What the articles in those websites say is consistent with what you'll hear if you live abroad.

I'd like to hear your opinins of what this American General said. Here is an article and an on-line book of his.

I'd also like to hear what you think of what this ex-marine says.

This guy posts left wing sources almost as much as CW did.

You might not want to plaster information overload into one thread to make your point. It turns people off.

Problem is...it's not just Libs that think that our current F.P ventures into a quasi imperialism. Paleos have often called into question the Military industrial complex. Buhanan's been saying things like this for years...(hardly a lefty)

You're reference to Maj. General Butler is one that many here are probably not familiar with. Butler had it more right than many.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that....The Federal Government and "America" are not the same thing. Sorry.....too many people are duped into believing that. Our founders sure as hell didn't.
