Imperialist?

Sure. The goal of every empire is to spend lots of money and the lives of its citizens for no territorial or financial gain.

@u2bemark

gahhaha ... dude I am so sorry to be talkign this 9 months after your reply... if you dont want to reply that is completely cool ^^...

I see what you saying... but USA wants to expand it's power... it's influence over the areas of interest of it's government... so deep down it is imperialism, maybe this is just not the right word... but the idea stays the same...
