an empire?? false. we are a democratic republic. a STRONG republic...and with that strength we can indeed project our force if we feel threatened, as we most certainly do, post 9/11. you've heard the expression "attack the king, you better kill it" when we were attacked on our sovereign soil on 9/11 and still to THIS DAY labor against islamic extremists who are still preaching fatwas and jihads.... it would be extremely perilous and foolhardy to sit by with idle hands waiting (hoping against) for the next attack. and i think it's really too bad that former allies are putting their domestic and economic interests ahead of stopping the attackers...but they have that right. so i am not sure what different standard you are referring to, but i believe it is standard to act in self defense...and it's a tough row to hoe when the attacks have come at the hands of terrorists and not a sovereign entity... but you play the hand you are dealt. em·pire ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mpr) n. A political unit having an extensive territory or comprising a number of territories or nations and ruled by a single supreme authority. The territory included in such a unit.
