| | Message text No, we aren't an imperialist nation. The proof is in the fact that we have no colonies, and could have. We could be the rulers of Europe and most of the Pacific. Maybe we made a mistake in NOT being imperialist toward those countries we liberated. Things might be simpler, though I suspect not.
We are probably the only nation in the world that is willing to liberate people, rebuild their country, then go away. That is hardly imperialism. And keep in mind that democracy is a very bad form of government, but it is still so much better than all the others. Its inefficiencies make it difficult to be an Imperial power. Even when we tried it back in the late 1800's we weren't very successful with it. It is just to costly. We just don't seem to be able to rape the countries we conquer to pay for the conquest. Heck, we had a major debate about the 87 billion we are GIVING to Iraq as to whether we should make it a loan. Imperialists hardly GIVE money to their conquests, they simply take from them.
I see you are Italian. I'm curious, do you speak German? |
