Your assumption that I would fight to the death were the United States to be invaded is correct.

No Goop, it is not an assumption. I know for a fact that you'd do that like any good American who values freedom. As I said, you seem to be a nice caring person.

Though I don't view our mission in Iraq to be imperialist in nature

There is where we disagree. Look at Fallujah, Najaf and other major cities in Iraq. There are in ruin. Do you remember the major earthquake in San Francisco about a decade ago? That city looked like a picnic compared what is now in Iraq.

Imperialism = the power and dominion of a nation, esp by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas - Webster dictionary.

Tell me how that we are not.
