"You guys subjugated half the planet ..."

And this wonderful old saw.
We thought it was right, our 'manifest destiny' if you will <g>
We've stopped.
We now recognise it wasn't a right and proper thing.
You berated us for so doing, and still do.
So... WTF do you do it?


Did I miss something that happened while I was at work today? Last I saw the US did not subjugate half the planet.

I have no desire to bash the British for having a big empire in the past, that was what powerful countries did back then and there was good that resulted from it as well as harm, but who is the US now subjugating?
