No it is the Bush Administration employing the Clinton Doctrine. "...to say that we really have no interests in who lives in this or that valley in Bosnia, or who owns a strip of brushland in the Horn of Africa, or some piece of parched earth by the Jordan River. But the true measure of our interests lies not in how small or distant these places are, or in whether we have trouble pronouncing their names. The question we must ask is, what are the consequences to our security of letting conflicts fester and spread. We cannot, indeed, we should not, do everything or be everywhere. But where our values and our interests are at stake, and where we can make a difference, we must be prepared to do so ." - President Clinton "genocide is in and of itself a national interest where we should act" - President Clinton "we can say to the people of the world, whether you live in Africa, or Central Europe, or any other place, if somebody comes after innocent civilians and tries to kill them en masse because of their race, their ethnic background or their religion, and it's within our power to stop it, we will stop it" - President Clinton "This ... details the ongoing campaign by the Ba'athist government of Iraq against the Ma'dan or so-called Marsh Arabs-the mostly Shi'a Muslim population that inhabits the marshlands (al-ahwar) in southern Iraq around the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Numbering some 250,000 people as recently as 1991, the Marsh Arabs today are believed to number fewer than 40,000 in their ancestral homeland. Many have been arrested, "disappeared," or executed; most have become refugees abroad or are internally displaced in Iraq as a result of Iraqi oppression. The population and culture of the Marsh Arabs, who have resided continuously in the marshlands for more than 5,000 years, are being eradicated" - Human Rights Watch, January 2003 re:"you think THAT is Imperialism????? What a dufus....INVADING THE MIDDLE EAST IS IMPERIALISM...especially a country that WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR 911....." p.s. according to bin Laden, the United States was attacked on 9/11 because it was enforcing UN Sanctions and the "No Fly Zones" in Iraq.

You don't feel that the 9/11 attacks against America is Muslim imperialism? You don't have a clue, do you? You just want to use the word imperialism when it deals with America trying to liberate the unfortunate people of Afghanistan and Iraq. America has a track record of liberating, not imperialism. Europe was freed by America. The people of Japan and Italy were freed by America, so was Kosovo. America and Israel have both been under the attack of Muslim imperialists for decades! You wrote:<font color=blue>"INVADING THE MIDDLE EAST IS IMPERIALISM."<font color=black> You must also think that America invaded Europe during WWII as an imperialist nation. You are very confused and ignorant. It's probably genetic. <g>
