>>>> We have created unquestionably the strongest nation in the world, and yet have avoided becoming an empire like the British or Spanish or Mongol or Persian empires....<<<<

Wrong. "We" have created an "empire", but it is a "kinder gentler" version... Japan is in our "pocket", our 49th and 50th states are far from our shores, and many other countries are like our "satellite states". It's a strange empire, but an empire nevertheless....
