UG, the fact that you can't agree that the US has employed imperialist policies historically is precisely how this imperialist behaviour is propagated.

Somewhat in the favour of the US though is the fact that every world power has committed the same mistakes. There's not one ever that didn't try to promote what they saw as the best way to live to the heathen natives.

I guess that doesn't mean the US is better. Just the same. No different to the British or the French or the Greeks or anyone else.
