Yes I do have a clue. IMO, those who believe U.S. actions in Iraq are imperialist, are most likely: socialists, marxists or Baathist. IMO, the last time the U.S. actually used military force for imperialist reasons, was probably the Spanish American War. The First World War was not a war of American Imperialism. The Second World War was not a war of American Agression or Imperialism. The Korean War, and IMO, Vietnam War were not fought to extend or protect American Empire. Somolia was not an Imperialistic invasion. Neither was Kosovo or Haiti. It is simply not unusual or new for American Soldiers to fight and die for the Freedom of others. IMHO Iraq is not a war of colonialism either. The modern United States hasn't tried to use military force to enslave blacks (Somolia), Asians (South Korea and Vietnam), Muslims (Kosovo or Afghanistan), the French, Germans, or Arabs (Kuwait) in the past...and I don't believe that we are trying to enslave the Iraqis now. You said:"we accept the fact that Bush is an imperialist. He killed 1000's of Iraqi's in a war that was the equivalent of the NY Yankees playing a little league team...."
