Chalmers Johnson is an excellent expansion to this.

the american government is gunna fall, every empire dies out eventually, and with the shot going on in the world today it may be sooner than most expect

[ardentabacist]

American Empire. Sounds like a good thing.

You are either a fool, a sociopath, or both. Do not project your moral stupidity and the evils of government onto Chalmers Johnson, me, or anyone else. It is *not* part of my human nature to rationalize mass murder and theft. It is *not* part of my human nature to deceive and intimidate my fellow travelers into apathy while we shred our liberties at home and treat faraway lands like playthings for the amusement and enrichment of the military-industrial complex. Speak for yourself, scumbag.

However , any country or government that is in a similar position with the great influence over the world would do exactly the same to protect its own interests and try to put itself in a better position politically, economically or whatsoever not to lose what they enjoy as the superpower. If you call this is imperialism and empire. i have got nothing to say to ya but suggest you to be more sensible in the human nature and even reflect your own behaviour when you have some kind of power

[khlee90]

because at the end, when it comes to our own benefits and interest to the national level you are not the exception to doing what the most of current governments are doing. It is just human nature that they do not want to lose what they enjoy and they would like gain more than what they enjoy for better life for themselves. I'm not here to justify what America is doing is right or not.

[khlee90]

lol this is pretty funny shit haha it all depends on how you view it but i feel the tern empire wouldnt really fit according my definition of empire. If you think that superpower is an empire, any country in the future that would lead the world with the level of great influence like America would also be called empire again. Of course, America does have war all around the World. I personally think that there should be some kind of power to be enacted to keep things in control.

Общий смысл понятен. Школьник показал своё невежество.

And the grandest of them all at that.

[Cameron Jones]

750+ military bases, heading the world's largest military alliance, having the most powerful economy, and having invaded dozens of countries and fighting numerous wars sounds quite like imperialism to me.
