You fail to address this argument

I did address it.

What did Hamilton propose to do? Annex all of Mexico?

If so, how would it be governed?

I argue Wilson was the first major politician to call for the spread of democracy through force of arms(without annexation) throughout the world.

Yet Wilson did not say this, nor do it. And the US did not occupy or democratize any European power in WWI.

This is exactly the stated goal of both the president and the neo-cons.

Wrong again.

Exactly, he didn't mention 'spreading democracy' he called for colonizing and using other nations (see previous post quote). Big difference between that and freeing oppressed peoples to self govern.
