There is a difference between going to war in Iraq and awarding contracts to contractors who you are familiar with and going to war in Iran for the sole purpose of lining the pockets of those contractors.
There is difference between the USA being an imperialist nation and Bush with the backing of Senators like Hilllary Clinton going to Iran.
There is a difference between moderates and the far left in the Democratic party.
To answer your question? No

Just,
Go stick a feather in your yankie-doodle-dandy cap, and call it macaronni.
RS's hubby,

There is a difference, it is in the wording spin you wish to give it. I think the US should hire the Iraqi's who are out of work, and Iraqi companies who have shown they can do a better job for less money.

It is imperialist by the very nature of it roots, the rich run the country, they call the shots. Democrate or republican, they all need money to run for office, and they all do favors for those that gave thems the money. We are run by capitalism, I'm sure there are good people in office but to many are bought and paid for by the rich.

I'm sure there is a difference, nothing is ever just black and white, except in simpleminds like G. Bush.

Your definition of imperialism above is new to me.
I understood the definition of imperialism to roughly mean the definition below.
Imperialism is a policy of extending the control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires, either through direct territorial or through indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy of other countries.The term is used by some to describe the policy of a country in maintaining colonies and dominance over distant lands, regardless of whether the country calls itself an empire.

And you can go polish your little red star comrade.
whats good for big business in most cases is good for America
A love letter from Congress to Big Business (No matter how badly corporate America screws the nation, politicians keep begging for more):
Dearest Big,Darling, I long for your return. Why did you leave, taking billions of dollars and millions of jobs with you? Is it simply because I helped you?
I thought we had the perfect relationship, even if you were high maintenance, demanding all the goodies and giving as little as possible in return. At only 1.2 percent of the economy over the past two fiscal years, corporate taxes are at their lowest level since the 1930s, except for that one year during Ronald Reagan's first term.
Even after you left, I let you defer taxes on the earnings of your foreign subsidiaries unless you brought the money back. I was so sure you would want to come home....

Some people would be quite happy for the USA to roll over and show their bellies to everyone from illegal aliens, to Osama. They also would not have a problem with their flags waving over, or in place of where ours fly today. And you seem to be part of this crowd. You know, not everyone was raised in a shall we say less than free state, suffering from an "outcome based" education. Some people can see farther than the my country, always wrong bunch.
OK so bring our boy home then send them to mexico which has been more of a threat to us than any arab country. Living near the border you hear what goes on over there I mean they are warning americans not to go to neuvo laredo. Because they will kidnap you and ransom you. The Mexican goverment sent their army to clean it up and the drug lords wiped them out. ( in a matter of speaking ) Assuming they weren't bribed to go away. One of our state trooper's car got shot up by a mexican army apc. Technicaly thats an act of war. But no we have to fight the arabs.
So what....whats good for big business in most cases is good for America. Almost anyone could see this...unless of course they have socialistic or communistic glasses on.
Funny one of our, if not our biggest trading partner countries is communist still. And holds the purse strings to our economy. Funny why didn't russia think of that. oh and still considers us an enemy by the way. They know taiwan is going to fight when they invade and we would of helped them if it wasn't for the fact we owe money to their invader.
This is not an angelic world and all world powers have been imperialistic and the USA is not an exception. It was always a case of putting under your control as many resources as possible not withstanding the fact that they may be in someone else's territory.
Why We Fight - a documentary. It is excellent and explains a lot of things. It also makes me very sad. Google it and watch - well worth it. sammieswife.
