<<Your attempt to put words in my mouth about American Cultural Imperialism is not valid. I'm not talking about US cultural imperialism(which competes with many other cultures) but military and business imperialism(which is overwhelming).>> Excuse me but, I think you meant military dominance, not imperialism. It's not Washington's fault if the Canadian government and the E.U. countries are more interested in spending money on social programs than the military. The gap between the US and its "allies" keeps widening every day, so don't expect US military dominance to decrease in your lifetime. If the Europeans don't like US military dominance then they only need to get back in the game and that doesn't mean putting their faith in the U.N. I wish the Canadian and European hangers-on would quit the whining: they know full well that in spite of its current overwhelming military superiority the US is a great democracy and shows great restraint. Too bad the same can't be said of the last few "great military powers": the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan and the Third Reich.
