Yes, the " " around it denotes the real point... which was something to describe American power... not something that fits the definition of empire. Your own post shows that: "The American Empire is a politically charged, informal term sometimes used to describe the current political, economic, and cultural influence of the United States on a global scale." <Now it looks to me that the term "empire" in conjunction with the U.S. isn't quite out of line even on this planet or is it?> Yes it is.... it's used only because the US has become so powerful... unlike anything else except............ "empires" from the past. DAK
