<< What you attempt to label as bringing freedom to Iraq is, in fact, imperialism...... >>

Only in the slightest, most narrow minded definition.

You are the type of person, who can't enjoy himself, unless he is criticizing the good works of others. I'll bet you that jealousy consumes you.

"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time... Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Great Britain, Sept. 1938

Ah, I guess that means that during the Second World War, when U.S. troops fought in France, it was liberation. But as soon as they crossed into Germany, it was, in fact, imperialism.

So, when Australia sent troops into East Timor to end that genocide, it was Imperialism.

And when Clinton sent troops into the Balkans, it was Imperialism.

And, when Kenya invaded Uganda and removed Idi Amin, it was an Imperialism.

And When Vietnam invaded Cambodia and removed Pol Pot, it was an Imperialism.

And When the United States sent troops to Hati, and forced out Baby Doc, it was an Imperialism.

I do know this-because of "American Imperialism" there are American cemeteries, with US war dead in: Asine-Marne, France; the Ardennes, Belguim; Brittany, France; Brookwood, England; Cambridge, England; Epinal, France; Flanders Field, Belgium; Florence, Italy; Henri-Chapelle, Belgium; Luxembourg; Lorraine, France; Manila, Philippines; Meuse-Argonne, France; The Netherlands; Normandy, France; Tunisia; Oise-Aisne, France; Rhone, France; Sicily-Rome, Italy; Somme, France; St. Mihiel, France; and Suresnes, France.
