No, we aren't an imperialist nation. The proof is in the fact that we have no colonies, and could have.
Wrong. You do have "colonies", Italy being an example, but shall we talk about Latin America? 
You don't have colonies in the XIX century sense of the word, but even England hasn't anymore.
We are probably the only nation in the world that is willing to liberate people, rebuild their country, then go away.
That's never without return. Resources, for start, markets. Do you really believe that Grenada was invaded out of sheer altruism? That the only purpose of Iraq war was to "free" Iraqians from Saddam? Never heard about oil? About "pumping" economy through war? Do you know that, according to some economists, the main way out from depression wasn't New Deal but WWII?
I got the impression that USA feels to have a sort of copyright on democracy: "It isn't unless we say it is".
BTW, I don't speak German. May I ask you why did you ask? |
