is America the new Rman Empire?

Keep on living in your delusions UG. I'm not even going to bother arguing this one with you considering the fact that it's obvious the actions of the US have been empirical.

EG: HAWAII; ALASKA; HALF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS. (just to name a few)

And lets not forget the failures! ie the countries the US tried to 'settle' with little or no success.

If these types of actions are not empire building then I'd like to know what they are.

So, rather than trying to suggest that the actions of the US have not been empirical, try telling me what you think has changed so that you can support the fact that perhaps the US is no longer empirical.

Whoa, there. We bought Alaska from the Russians. Seward's folly, it was called.
As for Hawaii, the people living there requested the US to take charge. They, missionaries, sailors, fortune hunters, fishermen, planters, from everywhere, had already greatly out numbered and displaced the natives.
